Mauritius Telecom / ORANGE introduced the IPhone in Mauritius, but they are not knowledgeable enough to help the Customers. This drives me mad !

I cannot imagine why IPhone is not equipped with the Drag and Drop facilities as most People use Excel, Word, pdf files in their business. Even the Accounting package is compatible with Excel (as an example). Why Iphone is so backward ? It is supposed to be an advanced phone.

Instead of having the straight forward facility of Drag and Drop our work files, we have to go and hunt paid Applications. Worst of all, it is difficult to hunt an Application when you do not know where to find it ! There is no step by step instructions how to do it ! Unless I am very stupid and cannot find it !

Thanks again for your help.

I use "Files lite" it has instant WiFi transfer. Drag and drop into the folder on my desktop and bam, there it is on my phone. This version does not support editing but at least I can review my docs where ever I am. Oh, and it free. It supports up to 200MB.
