By "pointers" I was referring specifically to the xkbd on-screen keyboard which allows for input to X applications. I've been playing with this and although it can be quirky at times, it does seem to work. I'm using a keyboard layout which puts all the keys on the left of the screen (overlaying the icons). I am also trying to track down the download for xvkbd, an alternative on-screen keyboard that may be more suitable. This is on-going...

xkbd works well for org-mode when I simply want to browse my agenda and take small notes but for larger text input, I am finding it easier to use the non-X version of Emacs with the full screen "finger" keyboard.

I'm also still trying to get wanderlust onto my N800 so that I can do email within Emacs.

HTH.
