Microsoft Office now available for Symbian



The long time promise by Nokia is today fulfilled. Resulting from the partnership of Nokia with Microsoft, Microsoft Office is now available for Symbian^3 (Nokia Belle) phones: Nokia 701, Nokia 700, Nokia 603, Nokia E7, Nokia X7, Nokia C7, Nokia Oro, and Nokia C6-01.
From today, the owners of the devices mentioned above can download Microsoft Office for their mobiles that include Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
One thing you might have noticed is that Nokia N8 and Nokia E6 are not mentioned on the list. The thing is, according to Nokia Conversations article author, these phones are still not compatible due to their software configuration. Even so, the promise of a quick resolution of this was left on the comments.
Here’s a quote with the features of the apps included in this package:
If you’re a Word user, you’ll appreciate the fact that with Word mobile, you can save or send documents while preserving tables, SmartArt and charts, or the pinch/zoom functionality to easily view and edit documents.
In PowerPoint mobile, you can edit presentation texts and speaker notes, or use the Outline view to quickly browse through slides. With Excel mobile, you can create charts, or insert formulae and view rich data and charts from anywhere.
You can get Microsoft Office via software update, being Office Mobile available at the Nokia Store in a few weeks. We alert you that this update will go to your C: drive, so if you don’t have much space there, you might have this info in consideration.
