A mobile version of KDE's KOffice, called (provisionally?) FreOffice, is being sponsored by Nokia, and a pre-release version is out. Last I checked, it could read ODT/DOC nicely enough, and I think it may have supported spreadsheet viewing as well, but it wasn't done; I'm not sure what the current status is. If you want to try it out, I think it may be in -devel (or possibly a third-party repo), but standard caveats about it eating cute animals apply, as with any pre-release app.
Nokia seems to be putting a fair bit of support behind FreOffice, so I'd keep an eye on it at any rate. This blog has some information on students in India doing internships working on the project, if you're interested in following along.

I tried installing K-Office but it is based on QT 4.6.2 so I couldn't install it with the current official firmware.

Also, you could use OpenOffice inside Easy Debian (in Extras).
Installation:
Make sure you have 2 GB free in MyDocs (the N900's "32" GB area)
Go to App. Manager and find Easy Debian.
Install it, and go to your application menu.
Find "Deb Img Install" (under System, if you have catorise)
It will download the 2 GB image file in the terminal, so don't close it if you see nothing happening (Will take quite a while, so do it while you have dinner, or something).
EDIT: It took me about 30-45 minutes on a 1 MBps WiFi connection. Obviously, I was downloading at something more like 700 KBps
Once it's all done, follow whatever instructions come (if any)
Then launch Debian LXDE (also under system if you have catorise)
Self-explanatory from here.
(I've found that using the direct shortcut to OpenOffice provided is much slower and can cause severe lag leading to a crash, but when using it inside Debian LXDE, it's fine, and can almost be considered "fast.")
