Does anyone know if there is a fix planned to allow the iphone to operate ms office applications? The inability of this phone to edit and email excel, word docs really surprises me. Seems like apple intended this phone to best support music and teenagers. Not a bad plan based on current sales and demand, but it will not be a great business tool without working with the worlds most popular software. Thanks for any info you can offer. I am waiting awhile to purchase new phone.

I hear it's coming in a future update.

The iPhone is already more than useful, though. It's the easiest phone to navigate in the world and has the best internet experience with the largest screen... I definitely recommend it. I strongly prefer its touch screen, interface and OS to regular phones.
