Documents to Go





Documents to Go is a suit of software which contains a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation and PDF viewer. You won't be able the get these software unless you buy them. But on the bright side dataviz offers a free version of documents to go bundled in the Blackberry OS 4.5. The free version if you don't already have them contains only Word to Go and Slide Show to Go. Bellow are some instructions on how to get Sheet to Go ( Spreadsheet ).

1. Upgrade your phones OS to 4.5 ( Ask advise from your provider regarding this or search your telco's Blackberry website if upgrades are available for you)
2. The upgrade should install Documents to Go,now you need to upgrade it to get Sheet to Go.
3. Click on documents to Go and click on word to Go. Click on the menu key and look for the update option.
4. It will now force you to register, hey its still free software.
5. Lastly to avoid your Desktop Manager from reverting your upgrade to your old version of Documents to navigate to C:/program files/common files/research in motion/loader files//
6. Rename DocumentsToGo.alx to DocsToGo.old.
7. Thats it..

Beam Reader

The people from beamberry just developed a native PDF viewer for the Blackberry. Its currently in BETA stage but works really well and renders PDF pages nicely on my Curve. Its currently free unitil October 31, until they decide on the pricing. I'm hoping the people from Beamberry Solutions make a free version of Beam Reader making it a standard a native PDF viewer for the Blackberry.

Update: Beamberry is no longer free, I'm currently looking for a free replacement.


Beamberry is a powerful document viewer that can open PDF files and office document files ( PDF, Word, PPT, XLS, RTF, ZIP ) . I love the fact that I can save email attachments and actually view them in my Blackberry even if I'm using my old BB 7290.
