I love my BB, but one thing I really miss about my pocketpc is having the ablility to really take notes at a meeting or edit a file. I miss my excel as well. I've tried miniexcel, but it didn't really do it for me. I'm trying not drop a ton of cash on the apps on handnago, is there anything out there that I can get that will sync into a word file? I'd love it if it were free, but I'm willing to pay a reasonable price. Thanks!

What a "reasonable price" may be is relative to your need. I think eWord is available for $60 or so, which is probably reasonable for heavy users, but the built-in MemoPad fits the bill for my limited needs: I don't need to format my notes on the road, and don't need to edit files.
