Well , in my opinion quality should not be affected , all apple products are all assembled in China and their construction quality it's much higher than other brands . Look at iphone 4 , if you clasp it you can't hear any noise (crack noise). If you take SGS2 and clasp it , you will feel like clasping a biscuit . That's why I love N900 , it feels very solid and hard , it could be considered a lethal weapon too .

Personally , on a quality scale from 1 to 10 , apple get's 10 , nokia 8 and samsung somewhere under 6 .

I do not judge nokia for doing this as long as they keep or improve the quality of their products but shame on them for leaving Europe , it's sad .
