It's not even the workers costs alone, petty much all of Nokia's sub-contractors are in Asia, like every other manufacturer from Samsung, Apple, LG, SE etc etc.

It was matter of time.

Well you are going to get the Asian plastic phones from Tizen, if there will ever be anything.
Around 90% of Nokia phones where already made in Asia, so it's not like much is going to change from past 6 years.

At least 4 out of 6 Nokia major R&D hubs are in West, something you can't say about the other companies. And this soul talk is just funny.
