This made me very happy to read. :) I've used KOffice 2.0 on the desktop, and while it's not at feature parity with even OOo yet, as long as they're working on MS Office support, I don't doubt it will be more than sufficient for at least mobile use by 2.1RC. Kudos to Nokia for being Awesome once again!

Ok, now I am getting more excited. My biggest complaint about KOffice so far was the poor MS Office support compared to competing products.
