Yeah.. Easy Debian is a good addition to Maemo. In my case i use Gimp for my photo editing and was supprised how fast it was. Was expecting it to be much slower.

in ED can you change the resolution of the screen by using xrandr? eg

xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 800x480 --scale 1.5x1.5

(you have to replace LVDS1 with the name of your screen, see
output of xrandr)

It is a good idea to uncompress the image on a fast computer.

Finally, I can now open email attachments in doc, odt or pdf. Doc and Odt are opened by Openoffice3,. That is real slow to the point of being unusable, but again I hope to improve that by plugging in Koffice in stead of Openoffice.
You could overclock your device and try again. @ 1 Ghz apps are quite responsive. But again not huge files. Even my 2.5 Ghz dual core suffers opening big pdfs, odts...

ED uses Gimp as the imageviewer. That is a bad idea imho, like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. I looked where to change that but could not yet find it.
Alternative option --> Geeqie. Gthumb might be another alternative for picture viewing.
