Text Editor and Spreadsheet in P800? — Sony Ericsson P800, P900 and P910

I haven't found if with P800 I can edit a word/text document and a spreadsheet.

It seems that this functionality doesn't exist.

Any ideas?

Text editors: NotePader and jText.

Spreadsheet editors: QuickCalc.

Not much to choose from yet I'm afraid... 😞

Thanks, I was afraid so. 😞

It is very stupid not having a decent application included. 😮

I think I will propably go for the Palm world.....

Does QuickCalc still only work one day. It looks like the development is in progress though.

Er, Palm stuff doesn't come with them either, unless it has been added recently. :-?

To be honest, though a spreadsheet initially seems appealing, when you actually try and use one in anger on these devices, it is almost impossible, both on Palm and P800 because the screen is so small, and the entry method is not as fast as a proper keypad.

Palm, at least in their site, they have Documents to go which they claim you can edit.

I have been used to 5mx so far and now it seems strange not to have
this functionality.

Should I go for NOKIA 9210?

Any news of a 9210 with GPRS?
