freOffice works pretty well but after a month of using it the file associations broke somehow. It would no longer open office files from the file manager/web/emails. You had to open freoffice and try to open the file manually that way.
When abiword was working I could typically run it then open a file and read/edit/save what I needed in the time it took to open EasyDebian/OpenOffice
i dont use open office for the exact reason you describe, however abiword opens up almost immediatly. from maemo terminal if you type 'debbie abiword' it opens up just as quickly as a native app. openoffice sucks on the desktop never mind on a phone.

If I install through Easy Debian I don't need the "defoma" package that it doesn't find when trying to install directly from Extras-Dev?
