 This is a Great Investment December 6, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was given this device as a present over five years ago and although it recently gave out its service was impressive. for the last five years it has gone nearly everywhere i have. everytime i thought of an unknown english word i would type it into my translator and a second later i would have an exhaustive definintion. it never failed to impress my friends who didn't believe me when i said that it even had cuss words. this wonderful device accompanied me on trips venezuela and mexico. the translator later immigrated with me to madrid where it dutifully served me for nearly two years. although, i recently buried my longtime companion i plan on getting an identical one to replace her. i bought the french expansion card and i have had no problems with it. in fact, i didn't have any problems during the first 4 years. the only minor complaint that i have is that it uses british english.
 Poor design for travel December 29, 2005
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
I took this on one trip and I tried to pack it safely but the screen on the unit still somehow got broken. The cover is pretty flimsy so my theory is that the entire cover pressed into the screen causing it to break. For a travel piece of equipment to have the most vulnerable part of the unit so weakly protected is really bad design. I didn't own it long enough to evaluate it's usage. Sorry.

The dictionary is fine. All the features are easy to access. The only thing I find could improve the text is larger type. It's difficult for me to read the type.
Worth every penny! May 14, 2005

This translator is like the best ever! I've used it on a long trip to central America and several trips to Mexico. I like that it translates common phrases that go with the word looked up. It doesn't just translate a word. I just wish it had a more comprehensive verb conjugation format. But, all-in-all very good. The other bad thing is that the battery is expensive apparently 'cause they aren't regular double or trip A, but I've only had to replace mine once, so you get every cent out of the batteries.

I took this product to Costa Rica for a study abroad program and it was a huge help. It was great for communicating with my host family and much easier and quicker that leafing through a large dictionary. I also took it to Belize and Guatemala last summer for field work and it again prove to be invaluable. The phrase function really helped me to use words in different ways than I would have usually. I really recommend this product!
