All the N900's are made in Korea. It's cheaper to manufacture them in Asia, than in Europe, like Finland.

edit. already said...

They are all made in Korea. All the previous high end big sellers(that doesn't really include N900) have been made in Finland and in most cases the second place have been China. So they can feed European and Asian market(we are afterall talking example with N97 of 2 millions in 2 months and E71 selling 8 millions or N95 16 million).

The fact that N900 is made in Korea have also made these supply problems. Finland factory is Nokia's second largest, but it only makes high ends(N and E series phones).

well, most of the high tech stuff were also made in China. It's depending on the QA control.

PS3, Wii, iphone, etc were all made in China by Foxconn/ASUS (Taiwanese with factory in China).

Mine is made in Korea, but I'd rather have it made in China by Foxconn. No offence to anyone either, but things I had made by Samsung/LG has higher failure rate than my Acer/Asus.

yeah when I had my N80, it was a big thing around the community, the ones made in the asian factory (think it was china?) broke down easier than the ones made from the finland factory
