They will not help here, and stick to 2.0.4!

Any thoughts?

It'll be nicer to us, but as long as it doesn't seriously affect my usage and I usually just read epubs on fbreader I rather update and try and locate some bugs in hopes some future version will be as good as 2.0.4 while being more advanced.

After reading the PB subforums (english and german) before even getting my PB 602 I decided not even try to upgrade the firmware .

Think I have version 2.0.3 on my device.

Even though some errors are more than embarrasing (buggy and laughable battery life indicator) I will only upgrade once I read some positive things on Mobilereads. BTW, thanks to everyone reporting back here it really helps a lot.

Go for 2.0.4 it's lots better than 2.0.3 and nearly bugfree.

I think it's with 2.0.4 that they screwed us with the expiration of the licenses for the dictionaries, so, if anybody need them, they either need to find dictionaries somewhere else or just stay with 2.0.3 (and no, returning back to 2.0.3 after trying .4 doesn't give you back the dictionaries).
I do really wish I never installed it

the changes they made in recent firmwares were laughable anyway.

EDIT: sorry, it was 2.0.5 that caused the expiration.

No, the 2.04 firmware did keep all the dictionaries. They expired only after updating to 2.05 or 2.06.

As far as this dictionary issue goes, PB has definitely handled it badly. However, as the dictionaries were trial versions, PB didn't have the right to have them work indefinitely on the readers. If they weren't already under legal pressure from the dictionary owners, then they probably would soon be if they didn't work towards expiring the commercial dictionaries they distributed. It sucks, but we don't have any legal right to keep those dictionaries working forever.

Quite right, would have been nice to be informed about it, all we were told was we get x number of dictionaries, there was no mention that some are trial.
I'm sure there are people who bought the devices and were strongly influenced by having an available dictionary in their language.
Simply removing all mention of the dictionaries from the product page, does not fix the situation for existing customers.

Edit: Just for keeping track that bit is still on the Israel website and for those wondering it said right below the bit about the mp3 player (which they claim is suitable for audio-books.... sure if you care to memorize where you stoped) it used to say:

"ABBYY Lingvo Dictionaries
PocketBook Pro 602 comes with ABBY Lingvo dictionaries installed. BookLand.net offers 44 additional dictionaries available for purchase."

as far as I could understand, on the Russian forum there is riot over the dictionaries (well, not just over the dictionaries actually ), with PB pointing out that they haven't misled anyone, and users pointing out the relevant webpage with the promise of dictionaries, and the gist seems to be that PB wont' move - I think rkomar describes the situation perfectly!

p.s.
again from the Russian forum, (message by "Housekeeper" posted Wed Apr 13, 2011 4:56 pm) apparently the developers' priorities are provision of a bookshelf (library management) for the new models, release of the SDK and FW for the 302 - the browser will have to wait.

Just one idle thought: Which 2.0.4? Because my Pro 903 was delivered with a 2.0.4 which differed from the one later offered for download. Version number collissions are bad.

LoneTech is right. There are at least 2 versions of 2.0.4 and it's hard not to mix 'em up. Luckily (in this case) the differences between the two versions are very small.

Then this is the only and last pocketbook device I'll ever purchase.

I bought it instead any other brand because of the dictionaries.

Stick to 2.0.4

1) A limited trial should give every user the same chance and shouldn't depend on firmware update, recent buyers that upgraded were robbed compared to older customers.

2) They knew in advance if they bought limited license or obtained trial versions of the dictionaries.

Conclusion: End users were purposefully misled.
