Nope. They're labiodental in the eastern dialect area (mine) and although
I can fake most of the other dialects I don't know them well enough to
claim anything about their phones.
No such thing as spoken 'norwegian'... we may have two written forms,
but if you're talking about speech, you -always- have to mention at the
least whether your data is based on eastern or western speech... the
phoneme-inventory is different, the intonation, the morphology, the
actual shapes of the tonemes (tonal patterns) are swapped...
(We get to memorize the differences in early high-school. I actually
kinda liked it, but then I've always been a bit weird :) )
