Where was your N900 made?
 
Mine is from Korea - with no hardware issues (obviously with software issues though!). I was wondering if the hardware issues are related to the factory?

Where was your N900 manufactured and do you have hardware issues?

Korea, no hardware issues.

Mine was from the same batch as some people with the hardware issues (tell from the serial number, only tens of digits different)

How do you find out where it was made? I didn't ask it. Though it was in the same batch as all the other UK ones so far (apart from the 300 and the raffle prize).

Look on your N900's box.
Label with bunch of serial numbers.

They are all from Korea as far as I know. Only the prototypes were made in Finland.

The black piece on the slider has come loose with resulted in the spring getting loose and the slider doesn't lock properly

Nokia told me to go to an repair point and I'm now waiting on confirmation that they have the part in stock.

Thereīs only one color, black.

But the finish on the plastic, and the brightness/lighting where the video is taken, make it seem grey-ish. But itīs black.

Korea. Bought from NokiaUSA.com No issues

tissot 2009-11-29 14:35
Re: Where was your N900 made?
 
Just to make it simple. They are all made in Korea told by Nokia exec in a interview :) Prototypes where made in Finland

It's also first Nokia flagship not made in Finland Salo factory. That's second largest Nokia factory and makes only high end phones.

Re: Where was your N900 made?
 
From what I am seeing, Nokia should have made the device in Finland, obviously there are some hardware issues, and considering the limited number of devices in circulation it's a bit scary to know there are so many problems already popping up.

Re: Where was your N900 made?
 
Yes, but then you have to pay Ģ900 for it like the iphone, the n97 was made there and that got crap Hardware (IT COST THEM LOADS MAKING IT IN FINLAND THEY EVEN HAD TO USE CRAP MEM) and it sold for the same price, think about it

my phone is ok with no problems

(oh yes the n97 had crap gps and lens cover and that was made in finland, so there)

yOU ARE ALWAYS GOING TO GET SOME PROBLEMS WHEN YOU START MAKING SOMTHING

Dude, a flash doesn't make black become grey. Plus the entire box is grey, when as the normal ones are black. I'm saying, there was some grey prototype.

Re: Where was your N900 made?
 
overexposed photographs make black things look like grey things. It's that simple..

N97 had it's share of problems and so did N95 both where made also in Finland.
If one forum 10 people complaining still dosen't mean it's crap when example N95 was bought by 16 million people(N97 had bigger sales from the start than N95) and who you think will be the loudest ones? With Nokia volumes it's good to keep perspective.

That said N900 clearly seems to have some hw problems reading complaints about it, but i don't think in a bigger picture it would make much of a difference where the device is made.

RIGHT!!! ON

ALSO TO NOTE THE HARDWARE WAS WAY CRAP ON THE N97 THEY UNDER COSTED ON THE MEM (I.E. NEEDEED TO BE 250mb ON THE C DRIVE DUE TO THE HOMESCREEN)

ONE GOOD THING IS THE N900 HARDWARE IS TOP $$$$$$ WHEN YOU GET ONE THAT WORKING
