Indeed. I wrote a very lengthy, very detailed and very accurate explanation of how product QA works a while back here (it is also duplicated on maemopeople.org). It seems a few could benefit from reading it.

In addition, QA is a broad term. To paint all of Nokia QA badly with a broad brush is disingenuous. If one segment does not work, that does not automatically impugn others.

Finally, the point made a few posts above about the complexity of this issue is highly relevant. I made the prediction very early on that this would likely turn out to be a combination of causal factors. I take no satisfaction in being correct, but that fact remains: no blame can be assessed to one camp-- especially given the diversity of experiences recounted (I have YET to have problems with any card over 32 meg, and there were mitigating factors with that particular episode).
