Using SMS with Chinese - English dictionary

[dame13]

I am looking at buying the phone, but want to check functionality.

Specifically i'd like to use it when i receive SMS in chinese. Is it possible to copy and paste a character from the SMS to the chinese - english dictionary?

Thanks.

Thanks. I got the A1200 yesterday in SH, it's great.

With respect to the dictionary though, it doesn't have pinyin, and for more complicated characters i'm left wondering how to pronounce. It's a kingfisher dictionary, is it possible to update the dict's database with one of the freeware dictionary databases that includes pinyin?

Since the dictionary is just an application on the phone, i don't see why not.

Got the chance to use the dictionary more lately and i'm starting to dislike it! It seems to have so few words, the UI is so primitive, worst is that when you get the spelling wrong (or it don't have that word), its 'closest guess' is laughable Will start look for a good replacement.

BTW if you manage to find a good one do let us know
