Mobile Office on your Windows Mobile 5 smartphone

One of the biggest improvements in Windows Mobile 6 smartphone Standard edition is the ability to view and edit Office documents. Windows Mobile 5.0 allows smartphone users to view any Word or Excel doc, but has inexplicably locked out any sort of editing capability. Realizing the error of their ways, Microsoft has graciously opened up editing capabilities (although shockingly still doesn’t allow for the creation of new documents) in the newest version of their mobile OS. This is all well and good, but unless you’re a T-Mobile Dash owner, the powers that be are still trying to keep your document editing desires at bay. Enough! Some clever souls have extracted the Pocket Office suite from Windows Mobile 6, and made it available as a .cab file for all to download. It purportedly works like butter on Windows Mobile 5 smartphones but, as always, we make no claims of support or success. Hit the link and edit away.

    Apparently, the .CAB is uploaded to a service whose owner has run out of bandwidth, thus preventing future downloads. Anyone know of mirror sites where the .CAB is hosted? Many thanks.

    Do a search on modaco.com, xda-developers.com, or even howardforums.com, and you’ll find users who’ve posted it in various places.

    It works great, I’d like to add. I’m loving it on my Tmobile SDA!

    Apparently the lawyers at MS told them to take the download down as it was “not ready for public review”. Interesting, in that it would be the first time MS EVER held off shipping incomplete beta code, but that is the story.
