A Good English dictionary for 9500??

Well, personally I prefer the Electronic Oxford Pocket English Dictionary with the MobiReader. It integrates well and will let you easily look up words within a book/document.

You also have the Pocket Oxford English Dictionary and MSDict Viewer which is pretty much the same thing except that it is a standalone dictionary viewer.

And of course the Advanced English Dictionary which is undoubtedly the most complete one, but personally I can't stand the interface, and it's slow as hell.

There are also many 'SlovoEd' variants from EpocWare, which I haven't tried because for some reason they are unable to make an English - Norwegian version...

Most important though, one that 'plugs' itself into the word, email (messaging) programs etc, so that one can perform a proper 'spell check' prior to saving/sending etc.

No such thing available! That is precisely what 99.9 % of us are waiting for!

Hi Raven,
Many thanks for the info. 😊

Do you think plug-in-ability to the core apps, so that a 3rd party dictionary can be used to spell check within docs & email etc, is possible? - I would assume an SDK for the core apps would be needed? Does such an SDK exist yet? If not, do you think it ever will?

By the way, good link to the processor types.
Interesting that Nokia do appear to have choosen the weakest processor in the range available? - (Probably for economic reasons. The communicator would have been to expensive otherwise. As well as a bigger battery needed.)

But from reading the gumph on the page, Nokia possibly are under clocking it?
As, unless I'm reading it wrong, the processor can clock up to nearing 200Mhz?

Cheers

Yes, it should be possible. There are apps like this for Palm and PPC.

Yes, you can download the SDK from forum.nokia.com. I don't know how well documented this stuff is though. I suspect one has to be fairly experienced in Symbian c++ to pull off such an app.

It is definitely not the "weakest" one from TI. If I remember correctly, the Moto MPx uses the TI OMAP 750 or 730 which is less powerful than the 1510. I think Nokia's decision to go with the OMAP1510 was more about finding something that provides sufficient power combined with moderate battery consumption, rather than cost.

Dunno if they under-clocked it or if there are several different types, but over-clocking it wouldn't be possible, or at least wise, because it also powers the networking bits.
