I have the 8320 Curve. I saved some doc files onto it using the desktop manager. How can I view, edit and save them? Can this be done for excel files as well?

Also when I transferred the files on the BB through Desktop Manager, it asked if I should convert them, and I said yes. What exactly does it convert? What is my best option when it asks for doc, xls, and ppt files?

Not easily. You can try using Media Player to navigate to the placed them and see if you see them. Otherwise you will need a third party viewer such as eWord.

To view and edit Word and Excel files, you need a 3rd party application such as eOffice from Dynoplex. Cost for the basic version is about $100 US.

Again, read the FAQ.

Hopefully Dataviz DocsToGo will be out soon, I know they are delayed until Q1 of this year. I have used DocsToGo on Palm & WindowsMobile OS devices and have been very happy. DTG has the ability to edit and create docs on WinMobile Smartphone OS where the native Word & Excel Mobile apps could only view.

Their pricing is pretty good as well compared to the others on the market, WinMobile $29.99, Palm OS 29.99 so I have a feeling the BlackBerry version won't be much more.

Hi,

eOffice can do that for doc and xls files. It also can view PDF, PPT and image files copied from PC. Plus receiving, editing, saving and sending files as attachments.

I am an old DTG user as well, though I have been pleasantly surprised by eOffice.

Price point, features and footprint always come into play so depending what the cost vs features I will just wait for DTG to make a decision.
