Besta is the truly the premium unit.

 

Let me know if you want to check it out, we can link up for dinner sometime and let your boy play with it.

Here's a website from Aim High Inc. selling the CD 627. I got my wife one when they first came out a couple years ago and she's still using it with no complaints.

You may find a good deal on ebay. There are Besta models from $85 to $350 there, depending on how much you want to spend...........Bob.........

I had to search for this one. The Franklin B1100 was the first one I ever bought my wife and it's at a good price. Not only that, it is still working. She gave it to her daughter to use in college. And I bought that thing back in April 2004 and it's still working. She says her daughter likes it and wanted it to take with her.

 

I couldn't remember the name or model of it at first but I remembered getting it from Aim High and I remember paying about what it shows now, $140. I didn't spend alot for it but still working for over 5 years and paying $140 for it isn't such a bad deal, about $28 a year!...

My hubby and I have the Cannon Wordtank V90, which has Chinese-English-Japanese. Even if Japanese is not necessary, it works so beautifully. It also has the English-English so that once his English gets better he can use it as an English dictionary too. We did buy one in China that was just Chinese-English, but I do not even use that one anymore. If they are still in China now, they can find some pretty nice ones. The one we had that was Chinese-English had a lot of good functions and even sentence translation. It was not so easy for me to use because for that one, you had to know the hanzi for a word you were looking up, but since her son is Chinese it would not be a problem. Buying them in China is probably a good idea because the ones made in China are user friendly for Chinese people. They also have really neat ones. Ours had a color screen and even games
