Blackberry help needed

[diversion74]

I recently got a Blackberry Curve through work but need to be able to edit Excel documents on it as I have to keep daily mileage sheets.
Used to do this on my PDA which had tom tom on it.
Now I have new car with built in satnav and the Blackberry I wanted to ditch the PDA if possible.
Vodafone say they don't know of any software to let you edit Excel but there must be something.
Being a Yorkshireman some free software would be nice.
As always any help much appreciated.

There are a few around but they are not fantastic to use - bit like trying to read pdfs on a BB.

If its a works BB you need to check with your IT department to find out whats available on your release of BB Enterprise Server that they've probably got running to support the devices.

BB do something called eOffice which gives you access to Word and Excel but again I think you would need to check your version of Enterprise server. There is also a lookalike called Gridmagic which you can use to create Excel compatible spreadsheets but I've not used this one so can't say whether its good or bad.

Thanks Barry.
Just loaded GridMagic onto the phone and set it to the free edition and it is doing the job great.
Lose out on some functions like zoom etc but all the formula work which is all I need.
