It's the long rumored Office for Symbian. After that WP7 bombed, it's a reasonable move for MS.

Why would they need a partnership announcement for that? They would never make MS office mobile exclusive to Symbian so...

The former CEO of MS business division (Office) is employed at Nokia now. A partnership is needed for a good app, MS knows how to program a good Office-like application, Nokia knows how to program a good Symbian application.
