The Nokia N series are not in the same device class as the Android and iPhone... the N series are very much palmtop computers and the OS is designed that way with stylus navigation etc. You don't (usually) get a stylus with an Android phone.

There's too much to fix in the main-stream product for it to make any kind of sense to start developing for a new platform.

That is all.
Anything and everything can be ported to Android since it is based off of a Java/Linux Kernal it is the same basic stuff you'd get with a Linux based computer with Java. Anybody assuming otherwise knows nothing about coding. As long as a person has the current Android source code and the current Linux version Code for OpenOffice.org it should be doable....
And another thing. . . stop bashing on Android if you've never played around with Android. If you don't really know Android then you don't really have any place posting on this board about whether or not OpenOffice can be ported to Android.

BGR has learned from a reliable source that Microsoft is currently planning to release the company’s full Office suite for not only Apple’s iPad, but for Android tablets as well. The company is targeting November of this year for both launches. Additionally, our source has seen Microsoft Office running on an iPad first-hand and has said that it looks almost identical to the previous leak from The Daily a few months back, despite the fact that Microsoft flat out denied that the app was authentic. It is also plausible that Microsoft Office will be coming to the iPhone and iPod touch rather than only the iPad, as we’re told the loading screen in the app clearly said “Office for iOS” and not just iPad.

The first icon looks like Microsoft's Remote Desktop icon. What if Microsoft's "Office for tablets" SKU is actually like the OnLive Desktop app and is simply these four Office apps running remotely (with some kind of "native" client code downloadable to the individual tablet devices)? Just a pure and total guess, but interesting, nonetheless....
