Thank you! The fact remains that reviews, for example, of the iPhone mention that you can read Word docs in it. Some of the reviews of the N800 mention that you can't do that. Abiword is one of the last hopes for solving that problem. This problem is a deal killer for many prospective purchasers of the N800. Word must be the main doc handler for what, 90% of the computer-using public? (WAG) Unless Nokia is not interested in selling N800s, this problem should be something Nokia itself worries about.
Fortunately, most purchasers don't realize that the N800 is totally Word incompatible. If there was a little notice that all purchasers of the N800 automatically got saying that it doesn't work with Word docs, my guess is that sales of the N800 would drop to about 20% of what they are now, which I think isn't all that big anyway.
I am saying this not to be a malcontent, because I love my N800, but because frank discussion is the traditional remedy against dumb corporations.
