Well, I'll tell ya, that keyboard really is too small for sustained typing. And I have small fingers. It's almost not even worth it to try and type normally, but if you're a decent typist you know where the keys are anyway and it's not so bad. I've managed a typing style just a little better than the two-thumb style required for cell phones.
It comes with Open Office, which is supposed to be compatible with MS Word, we'll see about that. Got a good PIM included, Kontact, though I wish I could figure out how to make it display 12-hour time instead of 24-hour. (meaning, 5 pm is 17:00.)
Took it to a friend's house today and it connected almost instantly with his unsecured wireless router, then back at home, figured out I wasn't there anymore and hooked up to mine.
I took a thumb drive and filled it with MP3's from my "real" PC, plugged it in and played them on the new gadget - need to find out if it'll plug into my car stereo like a normal MP3 player, if so that would be great for our upcoming road trip. I can listen to tunes, read e-books, play some silly games.
Seriously, who cares about the small hard drive? It takes memory cards and has two USB ports. As long as the hard drive holds all the applications you need, just store your other files elsewhere. I'm glad I sprung for the 4 gig instead of the 2 gig, which was about $75 cheaper.
Oh, and get this -- it has a built in webcam, mounted right at the top of the screen. Takes still pictures too, very cool feature.
I'm really happy with it so far!
