    Default any good engl-engl dictionaries?

    I need a dictionary on my A1200.
    I hoped that Longman can do Engl-Engl but it doesn't.. :P
    It would be super if it can also do Korean-Engl and Engl-Korean, but if there is any Engl-Engl dictionaries please let me know.
    Thanks and hope someone can hack this phone soon!

    one more thing..
    I'm looking for a "bejeweled" game in english.
    The ones on this site are chinese ones..
    Does anyone know where to find this?
    thanks.

    There is a 1913 English dictionary on the Sourceforge site that might work for you.

    Try this link

    http://cornucopia.sourceforge.net/

    Works no problem on the A1200, particularly once you get used to the A1200 UI, which allows copy & paste directly into the dictionary interface

    Cornucopia worked great once I got it to the phone. Thanks!

    In order to get the zipped file to phone. I had unzipped to folder but the unzipped files didn't show there when I used the Moto software but when I unzipped again and asked to show files. There it was again and in this window I could drag and drop to phone. Then click and hold on phone to get install option.

    The other source forge dictionary I could never get. And also the old 1913 dictionary never worked for me in PC emulator which works great for the CEL - Chinese English dictionary so I didn't move it to phone since it didn't work on PC. I assume there is way to deinstall on phone? Haven't tried that yet.

    wow..
    thanks for all the info.
    I tried both of them and liked the one chiennk has posted.
    It looks more like a real dictionary with pronounciation and stuff.
    However, with this one I think there is a problem with some words.
    For example, I tried "home" to see how it displays the translation and the application just closed.
    I tried several times and everytime I input "home" or "dog", I'm exited from the application.
    Also, the width is not displayed fully.
    One or two letters are hidden behind the scroll-bar.
    Well, since I have lots of memory left, I'll keep both dic's installed until I can find a better one.

    People, please post if you find a good engl-engl dictionary.

    BTW, I'm also looking for a Korean-English (and vice versa) dictionary as well but since there aren't many Korean users, I doubt that someone would have one tho.

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Problem with "home" solved by enabling incremental search but "dog" still turns the application off. Also, "for" is not working as well. Since I know these words well, I did not find it too irritating yet.
    Width problem can be helped a bit by setting fonts small.
