Nokia actually has incredibly high standards for its professional staff. I worked with a great many engineers of all sorts in the company and while I didn't always agree with every one's opinions or approach there's no way I'd call any of them stupid.

Now, when you seek repair or replacement you don't encounter an engineer first but rather a technical support representative. Many have not been adequately trained to provide great support and often the lines of communication within the very large Nokia as well as between it and 3rd party service providers are very poor.

I will not defend every policy or action by Nokia; if you have read much of the infamous USB problem thread you'll easily see I have taken the company to task for its poor handling of this serious issue. But at the same time, I know the problems are not due to malfeasance but rather the consequence of a growing, rapidly-changing company. Still, the executive leadership has access to the information they need to correct breakdowns so no excuse. But don't slam the engineers for it. Nokia's engineers are some of the best and brightest and they work their asses off.
Ok from one engineer to another, if you walk into any Nokia care centre you might get a suprise because within are incompetent engineers who just dont have a clue (some not all) i have seen personally some of the so called repairs done from within these centres and never fails to shock me, plus the customer relations as a whole stinks as you will know very well by comments on this community.
All i am saying is there is huge room for improvement all round starting from the design stage to end user repairs, i dont complain am reading others comments on this very community.
IF Nokia take heed and listen to their very own customers then this will be achieved hopefully, a first for Nokia !.
A fast growing company MUST have within it good directives to cope with the fast growth and this is a field Nokia are failing in because i know for sure nothing like enough benchtesting is done before putting the protortype to final production.
Like i said just before , let's wait and see what happens in the future because basically we have no choice !.
