Probably. They'll die any minute now. Their tiny market share shows they simply don't understand the mobile business and never did.

My BH-501 BT headset cracked right where people have been saying they crack all the time. I called Nokia's support number and they told me that they don't warranty physical damage. I had just bought these about two weeks ago and because of a badly designed piece of plastic, they're virtually useless now and Nokia has offered me a 15% discount on $89.95 for a product I had purchased for a less than $65.
I think I'm finally done with Nokia altogether, now. I ended up picking up a pair of Phillips BT headphones (I've had GREAT experiences with their products overall) today to replace my BH-501 and I'm going trough my favorite shoppings sites to point out my disappointment and to warn people to be careful about these physical defects and Nokia's policies.
If there's any 'stupidest move Nokia could make', it's that they don't seem to care about their brand's reputation for making easily breakable products (again, this is the third item that has damaged under normal--not extreme--use).

Benson, you are the biggest troll in this forum. A troll posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]
Benson, this is you. 100%.
For example, your post above:
"But just a couple points here, because even trolls shouldn't starve." (insulting and trolish.)
and
"there are other options, like affordable watchphones with lousy data connectivity" (are you an idiot and a troll?)
and
"not making voice calls on the go -- some people actually don't have cellphones, you know." (yes its clear you must be an idiot and a troll)
and
"Skype is not horribly expensive compared to cell rates." (just do the math bimbo for calling a landline during the week from 9am to 5pm.)
and
"the mistake is including the WWAN hardware as an integral part of the tablet, not a separate module. If it was a separate module, people could install whatever card they liked, and you'd have to stop trolling find something other than WWAN to troll about." (you have developed emotionally no further than my 10 year old son)

Personally, I prefer using SIPphone (Gizmo)... MUCH cheaper and since it's standard SIP... over-the-Internet calls are free between any number of carriers.. not just a Gizmo-to-Gizmo only thing like Skype has going.

Its not free.
Its 1.9 cents per minute.
You can talk all night for free (9PM to 6AM) and all weekend long using Tmobile.

If Nokia doesnt do something soon about marketshare and profitability they are going to die.
