Quickoffice, Inc., the leading global provider of mobile office
productivity software and solutions, today announced a multi-year
agreement with Sony Ericsson that includes the Quickoffice software
platform on all future Sony Ericsson smartphones. Customers will have
fast and easy access to their native Microsoft®
Office files and will be able to open, view, edit and create documents
directly from their Symbian UIQ smartphones.

In addition to the view-and-edit version of Quickoffice Premier,
Quickoffice will also provide Quickmanager, an on-device e-commerce

the significant next-generation usability advancements the UIQ platform
offers. Benefits include extensive personalization possibilities, a
richer user experience and ease-of-use. The user can now perform several
tasks simultaneously, such as downloading emails and writing notes.

“It is of great value to UIQ Technology to

user experience, while improving their productivity and lifestyle.”
