Generally one were to assume that products made in Finland (or anywhere in Europe for that matter) are of a higher quality than that made in China. It may or may not be the case (China was valuable because they were good enough and cheap) anymore but I'd still probably lean that way.

That said, some from Handtec were apparently a little defective though still being made in Finland. Think most of that though was software being a very early version.

Any word on where Neweggs stock is manufactured?

I have no idea. You'd have to email CS and even then they might not know. I'd like to think Finland but you never know. I would think China has far more manufacturing prowess for this but you never know.
I'm waiting just a bit more myself. I'm busy right now and I know prices will eventually fall just a bit more into my self-defined price range...which seems to fluctuate every time I check and N9 post.

Going by our local Malaysian forum there are very few cases of defective made in China N9s. A couple of cases where the phone couldn't power up but they were solved by flashing. I don't think anybody should worry too much about being made in China or Finland. Lot's of forum members here already bought N9s from Asia and do you see an unusual number of complaints? There are more complaints of defective Finland made N9s from Handtec than China.

It was nothing to do with software. It was faulty hardware, an (unspecified) problem with the motherboard.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. I was checking in on it infrequently but I had just heard of reboots and stuff like that and many thought maybe it was just a SW problem that would be fixed with 1.1.
Thanks for the clarification.

Of course it's a scam. The price is unfeasibly low. If it was really that low, they'd be out of stock because another retailer would buy all their stock and resell it much closer to the market price.

I agree. I think there's prejudice against units made in China, but not a lot of empirical evidence to support that.

If we were buying cold-cure salmon, reindeer meat or salmakki, I would have a strong preference for 'Made in Finland' over 'Made in China'. With high technology, I just want it to work, regardless of where it was born.
