I can get it for u...i going japan next jan during CNY for business trip
Adventia,
u can try another alternative is to get it from ikoma too. they do bring in 1 model of electronic dictionary from japan whenever the sensei(s) return back to japan for holidays (sth like this??).
But bad thing, it is just 1 model (usually the latest model in the market?) or maybe the model which the school/teacher feels that it is approriate from us to use.

I gotten mine from ikoma. Casio and cost me $500. o_O

I cant remember when they will start selling. guess you have to "bug" the staffs.

But in japan, there are many varieties, models, brands, prices that one can choose from. therefore, dimitri_can is able to help u.

just my 2-cents

This is is the one that we are looking at, for us english users, esp learners, we need more of the jap-eng dictionary rather than the eng jap dictionary.

i bought this dictionary at
http://http://www.smartimports.net/product.php?productid=16245&cat=0&page=1&featured

It's very reliable n the product comes within a week. service is excellent! but the price might put u off a bit. lol, plus shipping it's 680+ dollars. BUT ITS WORTH IT!
