The BT works with Nokia's BT keyboard (many reports online show this). I have two BT keyboards here, but they don't use the normal BT profile, so I can't test them.

Regarding word processor, no, you will have to wait for a port of AbiWord for the N800 (currently, only an alpha version for the N770 exists). There is a "notes" application though if you want to write stuff. And there is the GPE TODO to manually install if you want a to-do list.

Shame there's not a decent WP program for it yet. I wanted to get one to take notes at the university without having to lug the laptop around.

On the other hand, there's always Vim ;)

I just tried it for you, there is no VIM installed. Or emacs for that matter. But there is VI, so I guess that's ok...

vim runs on the 770, but you probably wouldn't want to use it (or any other text-entry application) for taking notes.

instead, consider Xournal, which was ported to the 770 (should be available on 800 too, soon) and is a great note taking application. I'm addicted to it.
