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. R. == |

Update
FWIW, I thought I'd give a quick update on my earlier N800 post.... For a variety of reasons I decided to return the N800 about 2 weeks ago and really haven't missed it.... It's a nice device but compared to the Z it felt like something was missing...and not just the keyboard...after using it for a while it felt more and more like it was not a mature device yet compared to the Z...With the Z you have a much more mature OS and other OS choices and a much larger pool of devs and apps.... So after the initial novelty of a new toy wore off I just found myself wondering why I needed it...especially since I found the reality of being connected wirelessly everywhere really didn't work that way even in places where I thought I should be able to get connected.... Anyway, just my 2¢.... |

Back home now... Just curious, but what exactly were the problems? My experience has been quite positive WRT wireless access. In my experience it's been much more seemless than it ever was with the Zaurus. R. == |
