4.0 out of 5 stars Super competent dictionary, 15 May 2008
By C. J. Lansdown "Kriss" (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Contrary to the previous review, I have had no problems with battery life - I do find it a tad annoying that the dictionary reverts to the menu screen when switched off.

Other than this slight quibble I find this item superb. The sheer breadth of media is astounding with a good dictionary, thesaurus and various puzzle solvers plus all the Collins Gem miniature dictionaries covering such subjects as space, geography, music, art and religion to name but a few. It is unusual in having a definition search allowing reverse searches and supports full missing letter/letters wild cards. A wide selection of games and study aids rounds off a terrific package. At less than half the price of most serious dictionaries and only outshone by the Sharp E300/500 this is great value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars jim, 14 Mar 2008
By J. Hinchliffe "jimbo" (yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
VERY short battery life; the ones that came with it did not give 20hrs and when they go all your stored information is wiped off! Second lot of batteries have not lasted 10 hrs, @ least I think it is the batteries as it has just "packed up" and I can get nowhere with it and I do not feel inclined to buy any more [@ £6 for two !] so I think I will throw it and buy a cheaper one which will be better value for money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Has Potential, 21 Dec 2008
By P. Bahniuk (Wellington, - New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was purchased on the understanding that it had 500,000 definitions, which exceeds the 350,000 definitions of the Sharp PWE300/PWE500 dictionaries which I have also.

Pros: Has a lot of information via its multiple dictionaries and thesaurus.

Cons: Keys have to be pressed fairly hard to register. LCD looks cheapish/gaudy. LCD and/or processor slow to update screen. Anagram solving feature need more definitions. Dictionary still needs more definitions.

I found this dictionary to be a bit awkward to use (because of the above cons), and to be no better (actually slightly worse) than the PWE300/PWE500 dictionaries for use in solving crosswords.

I returned the Collins dictionary for a refund as the cons far outweighd the pros.

Still the best overall dictionary, thesaurus and crossword solver units are the Sharp PWE300 and PWE500.
