OK. So Nokia won't do the work themselves to implement ogg out of the box in its devices and will not support it becoming a W3C standard. But, they provide us with an open platform with all the resources to do it ourselves. I guess that is fair enough. Thanks to all.

Exactly my point. (The statement was, bolded for clarity, "Heaven forbid Nokia not pay royalties"

It can't read the ogg export of a song I'm working on...

Is there an official stance on why ogg is not implemented?
I'm just curios as I haven't come across anything that tells us why.

There is no official stance AFAICT but I believe it's because Nokia is holding patents on H.264 and wants to drive people use it instead of free formats. The more H.264 content there is the more device manufacturers will have to license H.264.
