quickoffice = epic fail.anything else (free)

I'm in need of something that'll read xls or ods sheets and allow me to use the "find" feature. Quickoffice always forcecloses, I've given up on that. Documents to go is also a joke, can't use the find feature without paying $15. Unreal. Is there anything out there that is free? I haven't been able to find anything. Open office wants nothing to do with the mobile market, they've said it themselves! However, not in that same exact context.

I need to have my distributors pricefiles on my phone and the ability to find something instantly with "find".

 

I already paid for the phone that supposedly had the features. Why would I pay another? Especially one that doesn't even let you have any sort of a "trial" to see if it is worth dropping money on. Simple logic really. Had I known that quickoffice was a flop, I wouldn't have ever bought the droid.

 

Nah, I would have just bought a laptop instead. To me, it's like buying a computer with windows that supposedly has it's own protection for its "secure" OS... only to have to pay ANOTHER company (antivirus suite as example) to actually make it and keep it secure.

If I can't test drive it, I don't want it. And yes, I tested the phone... of which worked like a charm in the verizon store. I would have... dare I say this... gone with an Iphone. BUT, they have a lack of coverage (AT&T)... and their service is below par. Jon Stewart said it best... the first part is about how they (apple) went to recover their lost Iphone prototype:

Update: I finally got it to work. Amazing how the software I paid for wouldn't allow it to work (microsoft office), but open office on my computer (free) seemed to get it to work. Hmm, open source wins again.
