Yes, Polaris Office is quite good at compatibility, as far as opening various docs is concerned. It is, however, quite limited as an editor. I used to have Softmaker/Textmaker on my Windows Mobile devices and Textmaker allows much more formatting than Polaris (complex tables, named styles, footnotes etc.). So don't expect you'll write your academic paper with Polaris Office, but for everyday tasks it should be enough. I also checked Polaris compatibility with some non-western fonts and it seems to be able to show and write them correctly.
The worst thing about mobile "Office" clones is that after opening a file they often lose all formatting they can't recognize (named styles, multi-level numbering, footnotes etc.), so when you save your original DOC or DOCX with these programs, you may be in for a nasty surprise!
I haven't been able to check Polaris Office with all possible formatting tags - I only played with it for a couple of minutes, so if someone has more experience, I would be glad to hear how good it is with more complex formatting.
