afaik, contacts management is not integrated. though, work is going on in  
fso to do so.
there are some contacts/task/calendar suites available, osmo for instance.

> (b) eBible program (Genesis to Revelation... KJV)

what exactly does it ofer besides reading/searching?
the most simple way would probably be, to convert the texts into frinst  
plucker format and use with fbreader or plucker.
gnome sword is most likely to heavy.

don't know the current state, there are clients available, but inhowfar  
the are really usable with the fr (screen estate, navigation), i don't  
know.

a quick glance over debian's results to "finance" offers, besides kmymoney  
and gnucash, grisbi (http://www.grisbi.org/).
while kmymoney and gnucash certainly will be both to heavy and hard to  
navigate, grisbi has an nokia 770 port. that may indicate, that usability  
with small screen/limited resources was considered.

good question -- since you have to pay for transport, the difference  
between a cheaper a6 and an a7 might decrease.
additionally, every fix involves the risk of damage.
after all, i'd advocate for getting an a7.

> the A7 just the A6 with buzz fix?  I'm confused on this point.

iirc, basically yes. but the a7 has a slightly modified layout with the  
buzz fix included already.
