I concur. I would think that if you have to rely on a PDA for presentation quality correspondence or text, you may have other issues like not having an office or word processor.

All a PDA should need for quick correspondence or jotting down text riffs for later pasting in a word processor is an input interface that doesn't require a lot of effort and a spell check.

Text riffs can be jotted down using any number of current N800 apps. However a cross device spell checker that can be accessed from common menu's like the soft keyboard is all that may be needed.

Hell, every forum I belong to has a pretty good web based word processor that pops up when I post. For that matter some even have a slow spell checker. However an on board dictionary would be a lot faster.
