The upgrade is a FREE download from Microsoft.com and will allow you to open and edit Office 2007 file format documents from Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx) You can also view Powerpoint 2007 (pptx) documents.
Other improvements include:
• Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
• Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
• Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.
This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you.
If you have a Windows Mobile 6 device that didn’t come with Office Mobile (for example the HTC S620) you can now buy it from the Handango Retail store.
So…..
1) If you have a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Windows Mobile 6 device that came with Office Mobile you can use the FREE upgrade to get support for Office 2007.
2) If you have a Windows Mobile 6 Standard device (ie Smartphone) which didn’t come with Office Mobile (eg. The HTC S620) then you can buy Office Mobile from the Handango Retail store.
3) If you have a Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone there isn’t unfortunately an upgrade path or way of getting Office Mobile.
