If you find yourself handicapped by the limitations of Microsoft's Office Mobile, SoftMaker Office should be your first (and last) stop. The Suite costs $79.95 for US and Canada residents and &euro;69.95 for the rest of the world, and $49.95/&euro;39.95 if you're upgrading from a previous version. There's also a 15% discount if you order while the World Cup Finals running (the Finals final is on 11th July).</p>

I have the last version and love it. It has direct PDF creation as well as support for tons of other common file formats. I don't know about this version but the last version even came with windows mobile printing software so I can print from my phone over wifi - I think it does bluetooth too but haven't tried that.

Anyway, Nurhisham said, this should be your first and last stop if you need a mobile office suite. You seriously will not believe how much they packed into this. It's almost like using full desktop office apps.

I have been using softmaker's office for many years now. I have religiously updated whenever a new version is out. I am now on 2010 and loving it.

My only fear is that this may be the last version update as softmaker may not port this application to WP7. And if this happens I will continue using my htc hd2 on windows 6.5 for as long as it lasts.
