I've seen the sign "Made in Korea" behind the battery. Is this sign true? I mean is it really made in Korea? Or is it made in Finland? Please inform me about this...

It is made in Korea as your IMEI Label says

But look. I have not bought it already. There is a problem with the official dealer here. So I've found on internet one official dealer in neighbor country which is connected with a mobile operator here. And I was satisfied because it is like that. But, the sign under the N900 they offer is "Made in Korea". BUT, there are several stores which offer this device, and the sign under the battery is "Made in Finland". They are existing here for about 10-15 years, but are not listed on the official nokia site. Some people here advice me to take the phone which is "Made in Finland". I do not know whether to trust these companies, or to trust the operator which is connected with a company in neighbor country which is listed on the nokia site. And finally, SOMEONE HERE SHOULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER WHERE IS THIS PHONE MADE? Is it in Finland, in Korea, or in both countries???? OR IT WOULD LEAD ME TO TRUST THAT MAYBE ADMINS ARE SCARED THIS TO BE EXPOSED BECAUSE OF THЕ REVEALING THE ORIGINALITY OF THE PRODUCT TO THE UNTRUSTED SOURCES?? However customers must be informed about where this device is made...I would appreciate a quick answer.

Regards.

No they're made in Korea and designed in Finland. Nokias usually are made in Finland but the N900s - or at least a portion of them - are made in korea

[Bojan1983]

So there are some n900s which are made in Finland?

[richwhite]

No idea, possibly. But for sure they're made in Korea. Just grab the imei number from the box and verify it on the nokia site

[Bojan1983]

And if the IMEI of the device which sign is "Made in Finland" is passable on the nokia site then I should believe that it is original?????????? And give me a link where this IMEI check is made please?

Regards.

A Nokia Made in Korea is still an original/Genuine Nokia

In the same way that My car Is still a Genuine Nissan even though it wasn't made in Japan

This post should help

I think the REAL question here is where are ANY of the NEW Nokia phones manufactured.

I would like to own the Lumia 800 or 900 but I understand there being manufactured in China and with all the information of the sweatshop conditions at Foxcom where the Apple iPhone is made this is more about a questions of human rights.

Guess I'll have to stick with my Nokia 5800 Musicexpress that was made in Mexico for a while longer.

I don't know about the Lumia 900, but the Lumia 800 is manufactured by Compal (in Taiwan) for Nokia. Nokia has done some of the finishing/packaging at least in the Salo factory in Finland.

In any case, Nokia still has about 10 factories of its own all over the planet. Multiple factories might be manufacturing any given model, or just one. Depends on the case. Also, a Nokia factory that didn't build a model before, might be doing it next month, and equally a Nokia factory that is building a model now, might not be doing it any longer next month.

And the N900 is no longer manufactured at all in any factory.

Nokia factories ("production facilities"):
