I was surprised that she wasn't even able to view pdfs on her iPhone, let alone edit MS Office files. She was impressed by how much larger the Nokia's screen looked. Seeing her work with her iPhone, I'm glad the screen size and resolution is what it is on the Nokia tablet. I like the fact that things generally fit on my screen--I saw my coworker constantly fiddling around with her phone, doing that multi-touch resizing thing just to read an e-mail. I'm not sure I'd have the patience to do that e-mail after e-mail.

Of course, it's probably not a fair comparison. After all, I had to do the requisite hacking to get Open Office. And, a lot of this functionality is available on the iPhone too, if she wanted to hack her phone.
Really? I had almost the opposite experience. Me and my friend went to a conference, Him with his iPhone, and my N810. There was spotty WiFi, so he was able to download things when I could not. Yeah, it was slow over EDGE, but everything worked perfectly (MS word via email and PDF and power point).
