XiaoFan,

Isn't MDICT also available on S60 platform?

At this juncture, I would go for Nokia E71.  I think it is one of the
best built phones.  The feel of the phone is very nice: thinner and
narrower than E65, heavy-enough and metal casing (no cheap plastics).

Pluses: MP3, built-in speaker, FM, Free Nokia Dictionary (translator
as well - 3 languages possible), GPS, Wifi, GOOD keyboard, very good
battery life 1200mAh, uSD, no-slide.

I got one for myself, but I couldn't get my wife to return it to me.

Missing:
1. good camera - I find good camera useful for work, as well as
essential for family in capturing the crucial moments while they
happen.
2. accelerator -  use it with nokia "activity monitor" application to
log and track your jogging/walking distance, time and calorie burnt.
