Hello,

Nokia sponsored creation of Office document viewer based on KOffice:

Program will be officially presented at Maemo Summit.

Situation is a bit worse with MS-Office compatibility but in my experience "good enough" for simple files. Also one of the official goals of this Nokia involvement is:

Part of the projects goals is to help KOffice mature its loading and rendering of MSOffice documents.
