Thinking Of Getting An N800 Options

[rickh]

I'm coming from the Zaurus side of things, having used a C3000 for a couple of years. Unfortunately, it was recently stolen, and instead of getting another one, I'm thinking of replacing it with an N800.

I tried to search, but didn't really come up with much in the forums, so here are a couple of questions:

1) Is there real word processing, Word (or at least ODT) compatible software available for the N800? I see that there is a reader, but I'd ideally like to be able to do substantial word processing with a bluetooth keyboard.

2) Is it possible to map the keyboard for international english usage?

If I could do both those things, I could leave my laptop behind and work for the most part on the N800.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Well, I took the plunge and bought the N800 as well as the nokia bluetooth keyboard.

So far, it's really pretty nice. As far as international keyboard layout goes, the nokia keyboard allows for *some* accents, but I haven't figured all of them out yet. The reason this is important to me is because I spend a fair amount if time translating documents from romance languages to English.

I would like to get ssh working - the repository listed at maemo.org is either incorrect or the actual install file is missing.

But I've already gotten rdesktop working for the windows machines, so that's something.

There are a lot of other applications I eventually want to try.

So far... FUN.

Congrats. If you get the time, I'm sure we'd enjoy a mini-review from a Zaurus user.
