Office Mobile is included in Windows Mobile 6.1, isn't it?
(reduced versions of
) Word and Excel create and edit files in WM6.1; powerpoint will only display files, may or may not be included.
The important thing in choosing a smartphone I believe, is to get a version of WM6.1 that is well tweaked by the phone manufacturer, to where it behaves a tad more like an HPC version than the clumsy Microsoft Mobile standard. Going even from the older CE.NET 4.2 to WM6, can otherwise be numbing.
Other advice in buying a WM6.1 smartphone:
Also, I would say, don't settle for less than 320x320 resolution-type pixel-size on the phone
(in varying screen sizes depending on whether you prefer a solid or sliding or software-only keyboard
). There are many used WM6/6.1 smartphones on the market, including the HTC Touch Pro. I would stay away from Blackberry models unless you want to pay more for the special plans some carriers force you to take on a Blackberry. And of course, you need to choose also whether to go with GSM or CDMA, or a hybrid phone doing both.
To moderators: with the progressive
(seemingly?
) convergence of WM and CE, do you envision hpcfactor to start sections of support for smartphones?
