Jchord, here in Europe Nokia would fix something like that totally for free, I've never had any problems with them or any other manufacturer. If I DID have any problems with them, I'd threaten to report them to the local trading standards people.

I don't know what it's called in Canada, but try telling Nokia that if they don't fix your tablet's physical defects you'll report them to whatever your trading standards agency is.

If they sent you a tablet with a microphone that was broken when you got it, it's their statutory (ie legal) duty to replace it or repair it for free, it doesn't matter what their own warranty or guarantee says.
