Rating : - Love This Thing
I absolutely love this little gadget. After 3 years of heavy use, it finally konked out, and I tried replacing with a similar Franklin model, but found its layout cumbersome and inconvenient.

On the Sharp, however, I like that the 3 different dictionaries are easily accesible, the rest of the options can be accessed by other nearby buttons, and the backlight is a really nice feature--so there's no need to flip through a lot of menus. It also has two different font-sizes.

The main things I like about this though are that the keyboard is easy to type on, and when you search for a word, it's kind of like flipping through a dictionary (it's hard to explain). But I like it because it's a good way to find new words and such. If only it had more words.

It looks okay, and the lid is easy to flip open when you need it quick, and it has a nice puzzle solver/geography section. I preferred its Spanish translations to the Franklin's, as it had several different ways to use each word (when applicable)--granted, the Franklin could translate 5 languages. And had games.

Nice and quick to use, quick to learn the functions, and very, very convenient for school.
