 very good, but not perfect, 2008-06-16
Love the convenience of not having to lug my big unabridged dictionary out. Doesn't have as many words, though.

 Great!, 2008-05-30
This is the second electronic dictionary I have owned. My first one was another brand and broke down. After reading reviews on the electronic dictionaries, and seeing one about the Sharp, I bought and now am super happy that I got it because it is far more explicit than other brands.

 Works Great, DOESN'T Last a Long Time!, 2008-05-14
I bought this unit about a year and a half ago, and soon couldn't understand how I ever lived without it. The dictionary is quite complete -- I haven't had to go to my OED but maybe once or twice since getting it. The definitions tend to be on the terse side, but not ridiculously so.
The thesaurus is just okay, but I've been spoiled by my vintage 1957 Roget's, which is SO much better than what they slap that name on these days.
So why the negative review? After a year and a half of being my trusty writing desk sidekick it just quit. Wouldn't turn on, wouldn't do anything. New battery and jabbing the reset doohickey do nothing. Naturally the warranty is only for a year. If this was a $15 item I'd grumble and get another one, but at $80 I shudder to think what my cost per lookup came out to!
Now I can't live without one of these little gadgets, but I'll be trying a different brand. Hope I can find one that's as good as this and actually lasts awhile!

 would be better if it can pronounce, 2008-04-28
Basically the dictionary function is good, but as a electronic product, I would really hope that it will have an optional function that can pronounce the word I am interested.
