Who would be interested in a spreadsheet program for SPV?

[Guest humz]

The SPV has been out for a very long time and there are still no spreadsheet editing program available. I'm hoping someone will make one if we show enough interest.

[Guest t3dluke]

Yea, I wish MS would port pocket Word and Excel to smartphone

[Guest Disco Stu]

Given that it's supposed to be for business-users this is a strange ommission :?

[Guest blewer]

Would you be interested in a spreadsheet editing program for Windows powered smartphones?

Me, Me!!!!!!

I would love a spreadsheet app for my E200.

[Guest peekie]

how would you work it ?? on a pocket pc you have a touch screen :wink: :wink: :wink:

[Guest Brody]

peekie, the joypad/stick?! :lol: I'd be interested in such an application, i know of one potential spreadsheet app in the works but I think its a long way off so get coding! :D

[Guest Disco Stu]

I'm curious about what people would use Excel / Word for on the phone.

As an accountant :oops: I imagine I could make use of them but I wonder about the screen size being too small for practical use.

[Guest Palindrome]

I'll go for anything that will allow me to store and edit information in a more flexible format that using a text pad. I would be willing to pay more than the average for it, especially if it had support for the Ora keyboard.

I'm a Personal Trainer and often use Excell spreadsheets for metabolic equations. These are normally a bit complex to remember off the top of your head :roll:

I also keep track of my finances / Tax / Income / Expenses with Excell, so a spreadsheet app would make my life a lot easier.

Get to work :wink:

Cheers

I too would LOVE to see a decent spreadsheet editor.

Why haven't the people at MS developed a Smartphone edition of Office??? Not that I would pay for it of course, but there are those that would...

I have a better money manager: when the hole in the wall stops giving me dosh (or gives me a toffee crisp), I haven't any left :wink:

So who's making this program? And how far off is it? Is it a money program or an Excell editor?

[Guest Vector]

i would like this too! :D

i could do little bits of coursework etc. on the move ;)

Edit: Cheers for letting everyone know i'm not mad! :D I'm honoured! Brody

[Guest Disco Stu]

umm....okay...

Back on topic, having converted Excel spreadsheets with Repligo I remain sceptical that this is a goer on phones with this size screen.

[Guest humz]

There are spreadsheet programs available on other phones which have the same size screen...

[Guest humz]

Well there we go. The SPV has been out for two years and all you software designers seem adamant that you simply dont care about what people want to see on their smartphones. Therefore I'm going back to good old Nokia with their fast, reliable handsets and useful software thats available for them. I can hapily say that I am NEVER going to buy a Windows Powered Smartphone ever again. They are slow, poorly designed and there are absolutely no good programs available for them. The only good programs available for this phone are programs which really should have been included in the phone in the first place. These programs are only good because you have to buy them in order to make your phone function like any other modern phone. I cant wait to get my 6600. I feel stupid and raped for holding onto this phone for so long, foolishly thinking that eventually, programs will come out that make this phone worth having. I've never been so wrong.

[Guest Disco Stu]

Bit of an over-reaction there Matt, and you really shouldn't use words like "raped" in this context.

I simply can't see spreadsheets being a workable proposition on Smartphones, and anyways, it's surely down to MS themselves to port Excel for the platform.

[Guest martin]

Yeah, and a spreadsheet for the Nokia 6600 will probably be written in JAVA which the new smartphones (C500/MPX220) will support :wink:

Word, Excel and Powerpoint are available on any other handset. Do a search on Handango. The screen of the p800/p900 may be a bit bigger than the SPV, but the new Nokias aren't. If it can happen on a 6600, it can happen on an SPV. No problem at all. I've seen the demo version of QuickOffice premier on my mates 6600 and it works absolutely fine.

Also, none of the available MS Office editors on the Symbiam platform are made by Microsoft, so why would it be down to Microsoft to create a version for the smartphone? Surely anyone could make one?

So I'd have to run an emulator in order to run it? These phones have enough trouble as it is. Why dont I just get the phone that the software was designed for in the first place. After all, it looks better, runs faster and generally does what it says it can do. Unlike any smartphone I've ever used.

[Guest humz]

The word "raped" doesn't necessarily mean in a sexual way and can be used in many contexts.

eg. the rape of a beautiful stretch of countryside.
