I see you already got a few answers, but as I read your question, there's something left unanswered.

Once you have EasyDebian installed, you do not need to apt-get, because OpenOffice is preinstalled with EasyDebian.

Also, to be a bit more accurate when it comes to installing EasyDebian; you download an installer from the repository, not EasyDebian itself. When you run it, the installer asks you where to save the huge, huge EasyDebian file, then it downloads it. Which takes quite a bit of time. As in, hours.

Once it's downloaded, the installer waits for user feedback, then it unpacks it. While it unpacks it, your cell phone is quite unresponsive. This also takes quite a while.

After that, it's done installing, and you get a few new icons around in the menus. Including one for OpenOffice and one for the disgrase of a program that is known as Gimp, reigning world champion in redundant "file" menus.

You should reboot, to get your phone back to responsiveness.

At least this is how I remember it.
