Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

I read in several threads that there is no difference between N9s made in China and Finland, although many prefer the Finnish N9. But what about N9s made in Argentina?

Does anyone know anything about the Argentinian model?

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Buenas!!!

Mine was made in Tierra del Fuego (Arg)

I dont see any difference from other models,

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Hi hi, Im from Arg.
What do you want to know about argentinian model?

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

where can i see where it was made ?

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

It's on the box near the serial number, IMEI etc.

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

also on the SIM tray bottom

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

i have a lta(latin American ) model, i wonder why mine is China and not Argentina...hmmm

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Made in Finland here. Bought in Austria. Austrian edition code.

I guess the word "made" should be understood as "assembled". All the parts come from the same factories anyway - what means all N9s are from East Asia (if not China only).

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Well I distinctly remember a video that showed the machining of phone shells from a single piece of plastic in Finland. So it's more than assembly.

Looks like a regular assembly to me. Okay, shells are manufactured locally, but that's it I guess.

My N9 is made in China. Then I saw a Lumia 800 and the glass was a little bit more curved, the polycarbonate snugged the glass more accurately (I have about half a millimeter gap, and the glass is a little bit raised so my fingernail stops at the tiny ridge. Neither the gap nor the ridge were there on the lumia). I didn't want to believe Elop's crap about a "refinement to the N9" so I rushed to a shop to check out a Finnish N9. It was about the same as mine just a little bit more matte (that could be just from use - sliding in and out of pockets - my N900 had become almost glossy after 2 years), and the finish of the polycarbonate was better (my unit has one or two very slight bumps). I was relieved for some time but today I saw another one at another store. Flawless! I was devastated. No gap at'all. Light-absorbing matte. You could feel nothing but the texture change swiping from the body to the glass. It was just perfect. So how can we distinguish the poorly built from the best without opening the box? They had a Lumia side by side and it was better than my N9 but really not as smooth as the sample N9. Is it completely random due to the high precision needed? Or was the other one I saw chinese with PR001 firmware (I couldn't see the made in tag, I just checked the firmware version)

Just variation in quality control unfortunately...
I don't think it matters if it was made in the main Finnish plant, the Chinese one, or elsewhere.
It would be nice if we could know which Chinese, Finnish etc. batches have the best QC.
But I think that will be too hard to determine...

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

I saw a chinese one 3 days ago. It was better assembled than my finnish one.

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

i have a china made and a finland made. there is a slight difference in how the audio jack is set.

the china one is absolutely flat to the surface, and the finland one is slightly different and is more rounded. other then that, they are the same imo

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Audio jack on mine (finland) is flat.

What's the difference between Finland N9 and China one?
 

Just a bit curious as my N95 is made in FInlad, my N900 is made in Korea and my N9 is made in Chna :(

Re: What's the difference between Finland N9 and China one?
 

It's said that the body and buttons feel different, but it could just be some minor niggles with the device (or user).

Also, for users of the 64GB N9 made in Finland, you may want that eMMC checked ;)

Re: What's the difference between Finland N9 and China one?
 

What's wrong with the eMMC? :C I have one made in Finland still in the box, I'm still using the China one.

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

One time I had to open my N9 (because a piece of plastic broke off the SIM tray and got stuck). Two (!) screws were missing in mine. Guess what; made in china -_-

Re: What's the difference between Finland N9 and China one?
 

:eek:
Please elaborate...

N9 hardware revisions
 

Hi all,

As many of you know, despite its brief production run there is quite a lot of variation between different N9 units.

I've had three, two made in china and one made in finland (all black 16GB) and comparing my 2nd chinese with the finnish one for example I can definitely say that the chinese has a more matte polycarbonate shell, better fit of the screen to the shell and, unfortunately, a display with purple tint compared to the finnish's more balanced but yellowish tint.

Crucially, one is rev. 1603 and the other rev. 1604, and I believe there are revisions as high as 1805. Does anyone know what has been changed/improved in these revisions?

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

i burn the cpu of a chinese because overclocking and now i have an argie and its the same except the usb door doesn't fit perfect.

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Just ignore the "made/assembled/manufactured in Argentina" terms. I can say to you the only thing truly made here is the label saying it was made here, lol. They just import a half-assembled phone and all its components, fit a couple of screws and set it off the "factory". I don't think even the box is made here, still too high quality for my country's standards.

Just things of our goverment and all of its crapy job and industrial protective measures...

Re: Made in China, Finland and Argentina
 

Mine was assembled in Argentina. Have been stucked in PR1.2 ever since. :(
