Alright gearheads and espionage experts, here's my big question. Does the P800 have an MS Excel spreadsheet program or something that can edit spreadsheets like pocket Excel? I know that the white pages say that the P800 can view Excel files via mail but can you EDIT spreadsheets? Is there a 3rd party program that does it for the P800? I would appreciate any help in attaining this information.

I will also post a review when I get my unit to give some opinions on the device. (That's right, you heard me, opinions

)

I think so... but I'm not certain. I've asked a friend at Symbian to find out for us.

According to the OS7 details it *looks* like there are Word and Excel convertors built in... but it's not totally clear.

Symbian OS 7 Details

Quote from OS7 details:

sheet engine: spreadsheet support for multiple worksheets, rich text formatting for cells, borders and shading, many general, scientific, financial and statistical functions, formula evaluation and charts, added a power function

onboard converters reference implementation for converters between Symbian OS and Windows (Microsoft Word and Excel 95, 97 & 2000) formats for spreadsheet and word documents, and between Rich Text and HTML. Conversions may be lossy: round-trip integrity is not guaranteed, however the text content is maintained
