We have one good and one bad news for existing and future (as it’s still not available in many parts of the world) MOTORIZR Z8 users. The good one is that popular mobile office suite Quickoffice v4 is now available for Motorola’s “media monster“; the bad one is that at this stage it only allows viewing of the documents — you can’t edit them directly from your handset. However, that could be just good enough for you in case you bought/want this phone for its media qualities. For the introductory price of $19.95, Quickoffice promises “unique and powerful viewing features for Word, PowerPoint and Excel, including the ability to view Word documents, with original formatting of fonts, layouts, colors, lists, bullets, headers and footers intact and optimized for the Motorola phone.”
Well, we could at least see email attachments this way, which is not that bad. I would love to see Motorola bundling Quickoffice with Z8 — otherwise it’s hard to imagine buying an office viewer.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
