 not what I expected at all November 19, 2008
This translator came in torn wrapping, which was taped closed. So,obvious that it was used. The item was supposed to be brand new in the original packaging. Yeah right! There was even dirt on the electronic dictionary and some of the adhesives have been peeled off leaving residue on the front and back of the item. And,the display lighting is very poor and in low light settings, it is nearly impossible to see the text. It comes with a talking option for pronuciation but the volume, even on max, is so soft, you need to hold it up to your ear to hear it. Look for some other spanish-english dictionary (It does not allow you to input phrases or sentences to transalte, but it does provide some useful phrases which are already stored in the item.)
 great translator September 19, 2008
I have been through quite a few translators and this is way better than all of the rest. It provides idioms, phrases, and conjugations of all the tenses with their English equivelants. For all of the people that said that they can't see the screen, it is probably because you have to go into settings and adjust the contrast; it does pronounce the Spanish words, unlike some reviewers said; and it does give you phrases (probably more than you'll ever need!). You just need to learn how to use it. The only think bad that I can say about this item is that the cover falls of when you open it, but that is just a minor flaw.
I was disappointed July 28, 2008
Franklin Merriam-Webster ((Speaking)) Spanish-English Dictionary (BES-1850). I really did not test it's functionality. From that stand point it might be fabulous but the fact that I could not read the display screen was sufficient for me to return the device. The letters are blue, the backround is light green. Even after adjusting the resolution I had problems reading the small letters. If you do not have perfect vision I would not recommend this unit.

It is excellent product for students and travel. I use for English class and homework.
Dim display is kiss of death July 14, 2008
I read reviews before I purchased. Some said the display was very dim. I took the risk. Wish I had not. It's really, really dim. So dim, it cannot be used outdoors. Recommend you look elsewhere
