DocHawk for Blackberry

I recently had occassion to need a document viewer for the Blackberry so I went on a little search. I found a couple of options but decided on DocHawk for its simplicity and decent price. The way it works is you go into your mail app and choose a document attachment to send to the DocHawk servers. In a few seconds, they've opened and converted your attachment to an image that you can view in the DocHawk program. I was a little confused by the setup so I called their tech support line and got to a human with one keypress and no waiting whatsoever.

After a few weeks, I had problem with it where it wouldn't let me delete any of the documents that were sent to the server earlier. Again, a quick call to the support team had me up and running in a few minutes. All I had to do was go into the settings in DocHawk and allow it to close completely. Then I went in and closed it and restarted it from the Applications menu. Apparently most apps in the Blackberry run all the time and just get backgrounded when you switch to another app.

So after "rebooting" DocHawk, the document list updated and showed only the last one that was submitted to their servers. If you need a way to view(people want to edit?!?!?) documents on the Blackberry, use DocHawk. You can get it at Terratial.com

FYI: This is not a paid advertisement. I'm just impressed with the product and support and think they deserve more business.
