I Really Really want to keep my IPHONE!

longstrider · 07-06-2009, 12:44 PM

I am into my second week with my new Iphone 3gs, coming from a BlackBerry 8330. I love the iPhone, but if I cannot find a way to save and edit email attachments, so that they can then be reattached and sent via email, I will have to return the phone and stick with the 8330. I have searched and tried a few different suggestions: Quick Office, Docs to Go, Readdle Docs. None of these work well at all. I am hoping that someone can provide some type of solution, but I am fearing the worse. I don't want to give up the iPhone! Does anyone have another idea?

Thank you in advance!

You could always save the email to a folder called "saved attachments" or something similar and then just forward the email when needed. You can edit the message whilst keeping the email attachment i think

You really, really need to send exactly what you just posed to Apple Feedback here:

The only option for this is Docs to Go via the Exchange route. Docs to Go comes in two flavors, one supporting Exchange. With that version, you can download attachments, edit, and send them off again. Otherwise, WiFi transfer between your PC where you get your emails and the iPhone is the only route.

It would be great if Apple allow a personal folder with subfolders! In that way we could save attachments (and pictures...), open them and edit, and then send them via mail etc.
