I read the PC Mag review, which is tilting me even farther in the N810 direction, but don't want to spend the dough, when I can get the Palm TX for around the same price.

Thanks for any pointers.

Various people are developing various things; Nokia has said nothing of developing PIM or office apps.

Gnumeric exists and works nicely.
Abiword exists as a closed beta, not sure how well it works.

GPE is well spoken of as a PIM; can sync with gcal via erminig.

If your phone doesn't cut it, I'm not sure any N8x0 software will do it. You might consider gcal, but that requires internet. (Doable, if your plan permits; you can tether your phone via BT.)
