    Really like the check for update feature!!!! (This is getting to be more like OpenOffice?)

  • ignacio V. Ortega said on Dec 17, 2007 4:13 PM:

    I'd like to try as beta tester.

  • Miguel said on Dec 17, 2007 5:18 PM:

    What about an editor of equations similar to WordPro's?

  • Drom Kapult said on Dec 17, 2007 10:59 PM:

    I'd like to echo the first comment for the changelog. Having downloaded the previous beta there are a number of issues I'd like to check have been resolved. Like, for example:

    Functionality under compiz

    Invasion of my .local/.config directory without asking

    Speed

    General stability

    Merge the GUI with the new OOo 2.3.1, integrate it's further components (like database) and that's it!

    The multi-language support will ship soon...

    Language translation package is ready, and TVT testing is ongoing... The shipment is coming soon..

  • Marnix said on Dec 19, 2007 6:08 AM:

    My new beta-3 Lotus Symphony now shows up in DUTCH ?

    It won't change to English again. This happened right after installation (in english): totally unexpected, totally unwanted and without asking for my permission.

    Even while changing the preferences (I happen to read Dutch:-)) into English, Symphony stays and will stay in Dutch.

    I feel lonely in my company now ...help!

    Merry Christmas To All Symphony Users!!!

  • Richard Alexander Duda said on Dec 19, 2007 11:24 PM:

    I second this request:

    "Merge the GUI with the new OOo 2.3.1, [and] integrate its [other] components (like database) and that's it!"

    Yes, please! Add the Math Equation editor, add a simple desktop RDBMS (like Access, Approach or something) a graphics editor (Like Visio, for ERDs!) and a Publication app, and you've got it. I know, lots of work, but since some of these apps are already in OO.o, just without IBM's superior GUIs, it shouldn't be that awfuly difficult.

    Thanks!

    Use & Buy it

  • GL650Dude said on Dec 20, 2007 5:24 AM:

    Still waiting on an Equation Editor which is essential for academic use. One similar to Word Pro would be excellent. Are there plans to include such a feature soon?

  • Deus said on Dec 21, 2007 1:51 AM:

    Хорошая штука, ранние версии понравились. Эту скоро скачаю.

  • Sergey said on Dec 21, 2007 4:46 AM:

    Much needs the russian version. We Wait.

    When Lotus Symphony will be available in Portuguese (Portugal)?

  • Don said on Dec 23, 2007 11:23 PM:

    I am very impressed with the poducts so far keep the improvemets coming.

  • Bob said on Dec 26, 2007 12:54 AM:

    The fact that every module is orange is more than annoying the least say! Even the color Orange makes me feel insane. Why can't u guys get more suiting colors like, hmm BLUE??? And I really believe that color coding every module (word should be blue, spreadsheets green and power point aahhh - violate?

    In word/spreadsheet, the fact that the text properties are not up on the menu bar, but on the right side is frustrating. Can you guys just bring them right next to the cut and paste icons?

  • FRANCESCO said on Dec 26, 2007 12:58 PM:

    VORREI PROVARE IL NUOVO PRODOTTO E SONO SICURO DI TROVARLO OTTIMO COME LE VERSIONI PRECEDENTI.

    GRAZIE

  • michael said on Dec 27, 2007 3:55 PM:

    I like the side bar for menu options better than MS ribbon on top. My only recommendation is that Symphony remember what options I have turned on. For example, in spreadsheet, if I click in the formula bar, then go back to a cell the menu changes back to the default. Not good.

    Also, your help system needs to be written in good English. You won't get corporate buy-in with poor English language usage in Help files.

    When will there be a Mac version?

  • Marcus said on Jan 2, 2008 12:33 PM:

  • Marco - Italy said on Jan 4, 2008 2:55 AM:

    woo hoo!

    I always worked with Lotus SmartSuite...I'll be happy to try Symphony.

    I wonder...any news about a new Organizer upgrade? ,-)

  • Jakob said on Jan 14, 2008 1:55 PM:

    i'm waiting for the mac versin.... since months! please! post a release date!

  • rick said on Feb 17, 2008 1:18 PM:

    can I get smartsuite for my mac? ....does symphony have an organizer similar to smartsuite?

  • Fábio said on Mar 8, 2008 4:29 PM:

    How the hell can i download it ? i can´t find the link ...

  • HARALD KLEIN said on Jun 5, 2008 10:26 AM:

    I am working with the quite old Organiser 5 and could not find a more recent version.Is there any ( or a plan to provide one in future??)

  • Boris said on Jun 9, 2008 6:23 PM:

    I agree with some previous posts that equation editor is pretty important for this kind of software. It's "equation editor" far from perfect. I like this "tabbed" interface very much, and it is much more intuitive than the newest MS Office...

  • Rory said on Sep 1, 2008 5:22 PM:

    Surely there are more Mac users than Linux users out there. free us from the tyranny of Microsoft! Give us a Mac version. Please, .....pretty please.....!

  • Duan said on Sep 23, 2008 2:07 PM:

    its a very good suitte, just tobe perfect need can impord pdf format and modificated it, not just import

  • maury said on Oct 7, 2009 5:15 PM:

    My 10 year old Organizer is still a better PIM than Outlook 2007, which I have to use for mail. I would love to get a new version of Organizer, & cannot figure out why they don't "open it up!"

  • José Casimiro said on Feb 14, 2010 5:47 PM:

    It would be nice to have a Portuguese PT version.

  • avino said on Feb 24, 2010 9:06 PM:

    When Lotus Symphony will be available in Russian ?

  • Anatoly, Moscow, Russia said on Mar 8, 2010 6:04 AM:

    Why not make a russian version with a proper proofreading? We are about 140 millions in Russia + about 50 millions russian-speaking people round the world. Or you don't consider us for humans? )))

  • Sergey, Vladivostok, Russia said on Jul 2, 2010 1:18 AM:

    Mabe russian to be include in the finale release... But not include russian in beta - very bad ...

  • Guest said on Jul 2, 2010 1:27 AM:

    Ou... im jast see, russian in the group 2... Ok, wait`ing final release...

    http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lswiki.nsf/dx/06162009043847PMJBJC4B.htm

    Русский язык находится во второй группе языков, соответственно до финального релиза его поддержку ждать безтолку...

  • Vicki said on Jul 31, 2011 7:49 PM:

    I am another Lotus SmartSuite satisfied customer, but I switched to a Mac two years ago. I REALLY miss using SmartSuite, especially Organizer!! I have spent countless hours searching the Internet and Apple's app store looking for a similar organizer or planner, and there just doesn't seem to be one out there. If there is a Mac release for Organizer, I will purchase it in a heartbeat!! PLEASE make a Mac version for Lotus!!! I would bet thousands of Mac users would buy it.
