New Phone – Bigger Problems
Today I received the new O2 XDA Stellar SmartPhone. I wanted to upgrade my phone and wanted something with GPS. The N95 was sold out, so I went for this option. It looked nice enough and the hardware spec was impressive.
Please bear in mind this is only a temporary phone until my openmoko becomes stable.
Well things were going well – I had the funambol connector set up to Synchronise with my works horde server. It works well. The GPS via Google Maps was good (but bound to be expensive unless I get on an unlimited data tariff). I installed a putty client so I could ssh into my servers – the main reason I got this phone was the good keyboard allowing me to ‘hopefully’ do better remote support. I was looking around for some more mapping applications – I came across smart2go. It looks fantastic – however, I need to order a bigger miniSD card. It downloads all the maps ‘once’ – preventing your data bill from shooting sky high.
The problem…
It comes with Office Mobile (2007). The default formats are the new MS OOXML ones – and although you can change it – they are the ones set to default. I don’t use office 2007. If you like spreadsheets – you can ONLY SAVE IN THE OOXML format.
I wish OOo came out for the Windows Mobile Devices – if someone could point me toward an alternate set of applications for this it’d be much appreciated.
