> P800 - Any good as PDA
Bookmark topic
@Scots_boyuk
Be advised that the ability to edit MS office douments is fairly limited - most of my documents for example contain figures, cross-referencing, tables etc., and thus can't be edited on *any* PDA - the Office software just doesn't have the facility; the files are quite often *very* large too.
I was intending to get a Dell Axim, but this inability to *properly* handle complicated MS Office documents swung it for me, and I ended up with my P800....

Thanks for the info mate, interesting that because I had been looking at different PDAs to see which one handled Office documents best. I have to say that I wasn't suitably impressed by any of them really.

re: edit MS Office documents on PDA
Have you tried Documents to Go on Palm? I fould this very capabale. It has been rated as more compatibale with MS Office than the PPC version by the Wall Street Journal!

No, I never considered this..maybe (just maybe) if I had, I might have ended up going for a PDA. I have no regrets whatsoever about my P800 though..

Office document editing is important for me. As you know, you cannot edit them on P800. Also web browsing, too. There are some programs which let you browse landscaped with minimized fonts and images on PPC's.
And as a developer, i cannot forget the .NET framework compact edition and the SDK, whereas the limited (free) SDK on P800.
I used Nokia 9210 befor P800, sold it because of the lack of bluetooth, gprs and some memory limitations.
