What does this mean?
 

I have been in contact with a guy who is selling a white n9 - he has provided this info:-

"made in finnland or usa ("05" IMEI).
asia_005 firmware preloaded"

can anyone tell me from this info if this means its a genuine white made in finland phone?

Re: What does this mean?
 

For sure it can not be made in USA, because they producet it in Finnland and Cina.

And the product code asia_005 say nothing, see here

Be careful to not get a device with a chinese CMT flashed (as that may never be reverted).
-- of course only important if you gonna flash an EuropeanAmerican firmware




Ask for product code and compare it on well known sites if it matches the Finland ones. Also ask for picture of SIM tray and maybe a picture of the bar code shown in Settings/About.
