i am thinking of moving over to the p800. however i have some questions can any of you help with the following.

1) can i edit word and excel docs as well as send and recive them.
2) can i send and recive faxes with the simm enabled for a 2nd number for fax.
3) can i have more than one phone number as on my 9210.
4) can you get third party business softwear as with 9210. if so can you tell me where the best choice is.
5) can you do voice recording?

thanks for any help you may be able to provide. 😊

In order:
1) Not natively. Someone could write an editor one day.
2) No. Again, someone could try writing the software, but unless your service provider does network diversion for faxes, the p[hone will not auto-divert.
3) That's a network service, so yes, you can receive on it, but not, as far as I know, call out on two lines. May be wrong on this.
4) Yes, but "business sofrtware" is a very generic term. Have a browse through http://my-symbian.com to see what is there.
5) Yes.

So long as you don't mean "Can I record a telephone conversation", because the answer to that is no (unless someone has written a third party application for it while I wasn't looking)..
