We had the discussion regarding the use of the iPhone as as smart-phone. One of the major features of a full fledged smart-phone is document editing. You can receive emails from you corporate network that contain documents like .doc word files or .pdf files that you are supposed to check out. Through integrated software like Pocket Office from Microsoft or Quick Office for Symbian OS you can even create new Word files, Excel sheets or Power Point presentation when you are on the go.

Unfortunately Apple has not implemented their Office Suite that is available for Mac OSX in the iPhone. You can’t deal with all your favorite file types and really do something useful work related on the go.
This can really be a killer application on a device with the many connectivity options like the iPhone. With the nice virtual keyboard you could easily process Word files, Spreadsheets and other work related files.

Do you think the iPhone is an alternative to the Blackberry/Crackberry or other smart-phones?
