Interestingly, it also seems that even at vendors that limit the Zero W orders at one, or are perpetually out of stock for a bare Zero W, the bare Zero WH is not limited, and you can order as much as you want.
It also cost 35% more than a Zero W (15 EUR VAT inc. in France).
It's probable that the price and margin was really too low on the Zero and Zero W, and that this Zero WH is a way to give more margin to reseller without giving the impression of raising the price.
Hmmm. Soldering on some header pins isn't really that hard. Assuming you have previous experience, and a fine tipped soldering iron, it doesn't take more than 10-15 minutes of work. I haven't soldered for a long time and was able to do so without issue. The solder joints were good too, shiny and conical as they should be. Just need to take it slow and be sure to keep your tip clean.
