Quickoffice gains full editing facilities on the Nokia 5800 and N97
Published by Steve Litchfield at 15:24 UTC, July 29th 2009
Quickoffice has now soft-launched Quickoffice v6.2 Premier (i.e. the editing version) for the Nokia S60 5th Edition phones. The company say "This is an interim release for touch devices only due to significant demand and requests from our end users for editing support ASAP. Watch this space for full v6.2 feature details and developments/launches for other phones happening soon". Soon, from the little birdie that twittered in my ear, might be very soon, in fact. In the meantime, N97 and 5800 owners should find that v6.2 Premier is now available as a paid upgrade on their device in Quickoffice's 'Updates & upgrades' (Quickmanager) section. See below for screenshots and brief comments.
Getting Quickoffice 6.2 Premier from Quickmanager
Quickoffice 6.2 Premier can be downloaded via Quickoffice's Quickmanager component. Open Quickoffice and choose 'Options -> Updates and upgrades' from the menu. Quickoffice 6.2 Premier is available for download and purchase (£23.83 in the UK).
Update: The download is also available in Quickmanager on the Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD).
If you're a Nokia 5800 user and do not currently have Quickoffice 4.2 (viewer version) installed on your device then you can download it via the Download! application (it's in the Applications folder).
Quickoffice 6.2 Premier screenshots
Quickoffice 6.2 Premier supports files created in Micosoft Office 97, 2000, XP and 2007. Some of the recent changes include multiple language support (English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish), viewing of password protected files, ZIP file support, 'Word Count' function in Word and much more.

... tweaking the formatting of an Excel spreadsheet
... editing a formula
... opening up and editing my standard Test Word document
... plenty of editing options in Quickword
... tables and images can all be inserted in the mobile client

I'll be reviewing the S60 5th Edition version of Quickoffice 6.2 in due course.

As per Quickoffice's FAQs:
You may get Quickoffice for your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic from the Download! application in the main menu of your device or from this link:
http://www.quickoffice.com/download/....368_S6050.sis
See: http://support.quickoffice.com/index...barticleid=303
So download this version, then go into Quickmanager etc etc.
I haven't checked but the downloads may also be on the Nokia support websites.
Does this mean that this version isn't all that good and there's gonna be another version soon that has much better support? If that's the case, I might wait for that one instead. I bought it for my N95 once and a week later they released a brand new version that supported Office 07 files. I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to upgrade me for free.
zxon - I think you can read that to mean that there will be improvements in the UI. And err. watch this space.

Windows Mobile of course gets that for free.
Actually the N97 don't even get Acrobat Reader free now.
ok so the iPhone version doesn't have Powerpoint support but it does include PDF support something you have to pay extra for on Symbian.

I have spent lot's of times on this shit quick office pdf viewer,there is nothing in download folder on phone,got it through web,then trial version,and licence and payment problems... forgot it.
a free reader from adobe has been a way of earning money for this tiny corp.
and the good news is for zip viewer : "Xplore v1.33" (latest v1.34) the best file manager for symbian on this planet also opens,zip and sometimes rar files and archives files to this two format.and this lovely program is free.
try finding download link from google.
