I first went from Palm to Opie and now I am struggling to use either my N800 or my N810 as my PIM platform. I still carry an iPAQ running Opie because I have not found anything suitable yet. > 1.

Two suggestions, no idea if they will work for you. 1. The browser on the N810 can fake the iPhone user agent string and use the iPhone version of the google calendar page. 2. Google gears ought to make it possible to take your calendar off-line. The other poster's comment about GPE is valid. It is the most usable calendar app on maemo at the moment. Pimlico [1] also works (but I do not like the way viewing works on it and no syncing at all). > 2. Can I install open office or similar Doc reader on my n810. Not yet. You are better off turning docs into html or plucker and viewing them either with the browser or fbreader. > 3.

You have several editors available to you on the N810 - Notes (which uses html natively), nano, vi (in busybox) and more. > If there is anyone out there who also has a palm background who is now > using a N810 I would love to chat. Maybe even a Skype call or two. Fortunately, your N810 can do skype!
