Guest gazzaman28 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Hi guys, apologies if this had already been discussed. I'm new to Smartphones, I'm thinking of buying an Orange SPV C500 and I'd like to have some sort of Word and Excel software on it. I've searched loads of websites and I can't seem to find anything at all. I appreciate that it would have to be very cut down versions from the ones that get bundled with full PDAs, but I'd love something to keep track of my finances and draft documents while I'm away from my PC. Is there anything out there?
Guest squall Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 there isnt word and excel as such For spreadsheets see the news forum - theres currently a beta verison avialble for testing For text google for oranet notepad Neither are as good as you would find on ppc, but thats the best thats on offer at the minute im afraid. Welcome to the site
Guest spenh Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 if all you want to do is read your excel,word files try clear view suite from handandgo, it will allow you to view your office documents. i have all my works databases (excel) stored on my spv and find it very usefull when i'm away from the office
Guest chucky.egg Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 For text google for oranet notepad <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That should read Orneta Notepad Their web address is http://orneta.com/ if all you want to do is read your excel,word files try clear view suite <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That should read ClearVue Made by Westtek, whose address is http://www.westtek.com/ MoDaCo spell-checker signing off :D
Guest Dr Forinor Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Are there any cheaper versions of ClearVue?
Guest BrAGoL Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 you can check out Repligo at www.cerience.com...
Guest McHale Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 The Motorola MPx220 comes with a document viewer that does doc, xls, pdf, jpg, and others. Someone told me that the c500 did as well. You may want to check before you buy any 3rd party software. You can always go the PPC phone route where you can actually edit the files as well... -Mc
Guest Dr Forinor Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 ^ Do you have any names? I have the C500 and I dont know of any document viewer that came with it.
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 ^ Do you have any names? I have the C500 and I dont know of any document viewer that came with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's because there isn't one :D
Guest Dr Forinor Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 ^ Lol, I didn't think there were any :D :D
Guest squall Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 whats the name of the viewing app on hte mpx220? is it clearview?
Guest Dr Forinor Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I'm not sure, but I doubt it would be ClearVue, they are charging for their software adn they dont mention any associations to MPX220, it must be some other software.
Guest McHale Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I didn't see when you pull it up who wrote it. Same with the JAVA software. But when the MPx220 vs. c500 threads were going around, I remember when I put the MPx220 came with a document (doc and xls) viewer, whoever it was said the c500 did as well. This was a selling point for me. It works pretty slick. You just have to remember to make sure the document doesn't get converted when it gets copied to your smartphone. Download the manual for the MPx220. It discusses it and explains how it works. -Mc

Guest jamesb Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I thought the C500s came with trials of ClearVue on the mSD card Could be wrong, I wiped mine ages ago <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I got ClearVue and some other stuff, but this is an Orange Try card, so unless DR Forinor is on Orange, he wont have it. I just use Repligo. I dont really find it a pain to save/print files to the repligo format so its all good for me.
Guest Dr Forinor Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I am on Orange, the worst part about that is that I didn't know about ClearVue when I had a look on the Try card, actually, I didn't the the extent of what the C500 could do, so I thought it was some cheap, crappy (as usual) software/game and deleted it, stupid me eh. Now I don't have it, any chance someone could send it to me please? But it really makes no difference eh, since I will have to buy it after some time anyway. How much is Repligo jamesb?

How much is Repligo jamesb? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think ClearVue was the only thing I bothered to install off that card, I thought it would all be the same kinda stuff as the one I got on my MPx200! It was only a 15 day free trial which you can download from the website anyway: http://www.westtek.com/smartphone/ According to the cerience website, Repligo is $24.95 at the moment. You can download a free 14 day trial though to see if you think it is worth it: http://www.cerience.com/downloads/form.php
