It works, but you can't do anything; so: Great?
The difference is that it's a problem between Opera and Google, not Nokia and Google.

Google is blocking anyone using the Opera browser from using Google Documents, whether they're using it on a Windows PC or a N800. The point is that the hardware isn't (as far as I can tell) a problem, so Nokia has nothing to do with this problem.

If you want to complain about it, it's Opera and Google you have to complain to.

When I tried to use Google Docs on a Macintosh last year I got blocked in exactly the same way, because the Mac browser Safari was also on Google Docs' blocking list. Once I installed Firefox on the Mac, Google Docs worked absolutely fine because Firefox wasn't on Google's blocking list.

If I could install Firefox on the N800, I bet Google Docs would start working.

The Opera support boards are full of PC users who can't access Google Documents, for example:
