Great. I have the same phone and look forward to trying it out.

BTW, you have written:
"No ODF (OpenOffice.org) or OOXML (MS-Office) document reader."

Document reader reads ODF files. It is available at:

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Word-Processing-Text-Tools/Document-Viewer/Office-Reader-73432.shtml

I have installed the version meant for S60 3rd edition phones on 5800
and it works just fine. 

I don't think Document Reader is open source. Oddly, the website says,
"License/Price: Freeware/FREE".

So far only proprietary and priced software for S60 5th edition phones
read Microsoft formats and PDF. It is pity that one can't read even
PDF.
