Quickoffice Premier 4.0 for Symbian UIQ 3

Quickoffice announced the availability of its mobile office suite Quickoffice Premier 4.0 for Symbian UIQ 3 devices, allowing owners of the Sony Ericsson and select Motorola (Z8 and Z10) smartphones to edit Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.

The new version contains many enhancements that improve usability, including performance optimizations for handling documents of all sizes, support for complex spreadsheet formulas and new, advanced editing capabilities — users can control formatting, graphics and text when revising documents on their UIQ smartphones. Also included in this release are support for graphical changes within presentations, option to customize the display of documents in each application with the new ZoomView feature, and Quickmanager app which enables over-the-air software upgrades.

On the downside, unlike the S60 version, Quickoffice Premier 4.0 for Symbian UIQ 3 doesn’t support Microsoft Office 2007 XML-based files. It costs 50 bucks and you can get more information from Quickoffice’s website.

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.
