There was a map a fews back on one of the news sites, CBF'd digging it up.
But most of the points you made were solid, just thought I'd point this out though.
very true. Also "made in Finland" is a very relative term. Like you said Nokia has a lot of plants all over the world, and also outsources a lot to Chinese manufacturers. Most adapters, cables etc. are made in china that way.
When a phone is "made in Finland" it only means that the last part of assembly is done in Finland. The chips, screen, electronic board, even the housing parts can all be made at a different (cheaper) location, and the phone can still be called "made in Finland".
