This is the essential office application if you use an S60 device, which is why I think this review is so important.
Some snippets:
For example, Quickoffice 3 is in most Nseries firmware, in ‘read only’ form, i.e. you can view Word, Excel and Powerpoint attachments but you can’t edit them. (An editing version is also present in rival UIQ 3 smartphones, by the way)
Long time AAS readers will recall my concern over round-tripping of documents, from desktop to smartphone and back to desktop without losing vital formatting and content. It seems that previous comments have now been taken to heart, with near perfect preservation of common file elements when used with a recent version of Microsoft Office. Images, formatting, styling, insertions, footnotes and charts were all retained, making Quickoffice 4 now suitable for use in a business email environment.
Obvious omissions include a spell checker and a word count facility, but these aside, Quickoffice 4 is now a perfectly capable word processor that can genuinely attempt tweaks to Office master documents without fear of damage.
Nothing’s perfect though, and the lack of compatibility with .DOC files produced by OpenOffice, plus the lack of spell checker and word count, the absence of any charting in the spreadsheet and the lack of any related presentation projection system are all black marks that prevent Quickoffice 4.0 from gaining a coveted AAS MegaApp award.
It’s is a pretty upbeat review despite the applications faults, read the whole thing over at All About Symbian.
