But the sticker was like some kid stick it there, and it was diferent to stickers on rest of my devives (one I currently own, and one I sold here on TMO - history of those was clear and true "Made in Korea" used for few hours).
So the one from "FINLAND" had 300+ hours of talk time - imagine that (and where is using / playing if You wish, time).

You have to know, that all "china new" devices are geniuine (I'm not saying anything about funny fake things that only looks like N900 and You'll know they are fake from first boot up), but all of them are refurbished devices with houndreds hours of using behind, or for example minor faults that had been repaired. The whole housing is new, most good quality, or even the same quality as geniuine product.

There is no point in comparing speed, parts, etc. As both Your devices are Nokia's products. The only thing is, one of them was nearly dead, and had whole hosing changed + mayby mUSB reinforced / repaired.

Best way to find out, what's the story behind is scan it with Phoenix sw. Then You will find out few interesting things - like life timer (which can not be changed, and it's counting from new).

I was thinking that LIFE TIMER hours could be due to a stressful test that Nokia makes their phones. This Phone working really well. I'm going to disassemble this device. I need to know if the screen is genuine and if I can fix the white spots, and so I can see if the USB was repaired.

Don't buy anything on ebay from China/Hong Kong,
most likely a fake.

Found a video on youtube explaining the differences

No man, it's not because stressful tests in Nokia HQ or basements. It's pure talk time made by it's user. So You are close to 300 hours, man that's a lot - so my advice is - don't try to find something which is not geniuine, and enjoy the ''N900'' when You still can.

You won't be able to fix the white spots, without changing the display. I read somewhere (but it might be just something like TT - TheoX Teory) that white spots appears after overclocking to high levels. But again that's only like roomer or TT news - as You wish.

Anyway, just use it before it's too late - and the end is close for this one, belive me man.

edit: right, there is no need to hide Product Code, since it's just language version / provider version. It's safe, You are all right, can come out.

Well I can see the diference between single models, so when You compare N900 to (I'll choose ...) 6310 / 6310i - You will have big values here, because it was phone made for talking, nearly only for phone calls, right?
Do You have Yours N900 life timer? Can You share it? Is it something to be proud of?

Sorry, I Opened other new thread, about this questions: Just follow here.

These days, itīs possible to get a new genuine N900 made ​​in Korea?

Days ago I bought a phone from Ebay and everything is perfect and it works great except for the screen that has two white spots. I think it is repaired, even though the seller said it was new. also says MADE IN FINLAND.
With the serial number. It is possible to know if this device was repaired? and what was the problem? Because if this phone only has two spots on the screen. I can live with that without problems ...

I decided to disassemble my two N900 because really at the end to compare both found the of made in finland (2101 version) is faster and maintains a low temperature in the CPU that it is made in korea (version 2104). This device bought on Ebay on your motherboard contains components from Japan and the other device made ​​in Korea has components from VIETNAM . I also checked if there were any USB port repair, apparently nothing. Upload photos for an expert opinion.
Because I found some small differences indicated there.

3 6 9 3 9 5 0 3 2 3 5 5 6 7 8

Now look at the 7th and 8th digit. These two digits will Ensure your phone's quality! "

If is 03 should be made ​​in korea. And if I were in Finland should be 00. Am I wrong? Thank you.
Yes, the 7th and 8th digit identifies the place of manufacture of the phone.

These are the digits in IMEI.
[TAC] Type Approval Code (6 digits)
[FAC] Final Assembly Code identifies the place of manufacture/final assembly (2 digits)
[SNR] Serial Number is an individual serial number uniquely identifying each equipment within each TAC and FAC (6 digits)
[CD ] Check Digit (Also referred as SD Spare Digit) (1 digit)
