Try This first!

Save your self the aggravation - try This first! It will spoil you for anything else on the market. I''ve been using this for 5 years as both my handheld and the product have evolved. I''ve tried others but they aren''t even close to usable with MS Word and Excel. This is a powerful little program that interfaces well with MS - who needs a laptop? I have a Tungsten T3 with a wireless keyboard. With the T3 in landscape mode I can work in real spreadsheets! I highly recommend it.
Glad I switched

Really love my Tungsten T3 but was disappointed with some of the software it included. The integrity of my original Excel and Word files after I edited on my handheld and HotSync'd wasn't very good so I stopped editing. Decided I'd try a new product and glad I did. Quickoffice Premier preserves a lot more of the original formatting in the original documents and I find the user interface much easier to use. Highly recommended.
great potential spoiled by bugs and "support" issues

I have been a happy quickoffice user for a couple of years now, so I didn't think hard when I got a Treo 600 about spending $30 to upgrade to Quickoffice Premier. Unfortunately a lot has changed since last time I installed this product. I immediately ran into several serious problems:
1. QuickWord docs that synced onto my treo before I installed QuickOffice were unavailable on the desktop.
2. I can find no way to create a doc on the PDA and have it show up on my PC in editable form
3. If you're using quickword on Treo 600 and you press the ALT key (eg because you need a semicolon) the Treo will soft reset.
I wrote tech support about the first problem and had to wait 5 days before receiving a totally useless answer (reinstall the conduit). Since then I have written twice more and have heard nothing. I am now seeking a refund unless a miracle happens and someone there makes an earnest effort to help. Overall, release quality and tech support are far worse than I remember from Cutting Edge.
Try before you buy.
