As you know and has been discussed to death, the availability of installable, but not shipped software is irrelevant to the discussion of major manufacturers supporting open media formats instead of continuing to strenghten by-definition non-interoperable world in the area of video and sound.
It's not a big surprise that on a relatively open device you can install own software.

Big companies are complex entities with one division having one opinion and another another.
Nokia don't ship Ogg out-of-the-box, but you can get a tier-1 experience by installing a single package, so I really fail to see the point of people being puritanical about Ogg support.
Do you want Nokia to ship support out-of-the-box' Nokia to expose their lawyers' concerns; or Nokia to publicly endorse Ogg Vorbis et al (but still not ship it)?

A lot of organizations including Red Hat, Novell, Google and Firefox are including Ogg Theora and Vorbis support. Even Microsoft includes Ogg Vorbis in some of their products. It's really high time, Nokia started endorsing Ogg and including support out of the box to meet their customers demands. Not only did they not do that, they went ahead and derailed Ogg Theora support in HTML 5 by calling it proprietary. Totally ridiculous and unacceptable behaviour.
