English Chinese Dictionary options

I've spent the last 40 minutes trying to find an English Chinese dictionary for a Nokia 6680 with no sucess. My google-fu has failed me. 😞 That at the minimum allows English to Chinese translation with the results in both simplified characters and pinyin. Bonus points if I can convert from Chinese to English.

Can you direct me to what's out there? I certainly don't mind paying for it, I just have to find it!

i don't think you're going to find anything to be honest, not anything which is going to display kanji on the screen, and going back the other way is most likely out of the question.
I was searching for a Japanese dictionary but all i could find was one which uses roman characters for translations, which is quite well...poor to be honest.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to find something that translates phrases and such, but I know I can find something that translates words because many of friends have English/Chinese dictionaries on their phones. I live in China so this is a popular feature for many students because they can use their phone as a dictionary in class. The only problem with the one for the native Chinese speakers is that the dictionary doesn't have the pinyin pronounciation for the Chinese translations, just the characters. I don't know enough characters yet to know the pronounciations for them, so I need pin yin in my dictionary.
