Title: Cell phone with English to Chinese translation ?
Post by: donb2222 on February 23, 2009, 12:07:49 am

Hi all,

  I met a Chinese woman yesterday that had a cell phone with a Chinese to English dictionary.
Where can I find, and how much to pay for the cheapest Nokia cell phone with that feature ?
So far, have seen the Nokia 2610 at 298 RMB, but do not know enough yet to know if that
is a good phone or price.

Thanks !

I am not sure about the phone because at that price, it seems quite low.  The cell phone I have was around 900RMB and that wasn't even a name brand.  Yes it has touch screen or whatever, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, and maybe the quality, as the higher priced models.  If I were you, I would keep in mind that you not only want to look if the cell phone has the translation feature, but also the quality and other options.

Bought a new  Nokia 2610 today for 240 RMB. 
Quality seems to be fine, it is just a basic phone, no camera.
Used to have Motorolas, and always had problems.
Have never had a problem with any Nokia.
The English to Chinese dictionary is a great feature.

Although it has a English to Chinese dictionary,I do not think it has large vocabulary.
