Engineering and/or build cost problems?

I don't think that Nokia manufactures handsets at any location closer to the US than Salo.

I belive Nokias tolerances are the same for every factory. I doubt quality is an issue in the Chinese handsets compared to the ones made in Salo. I'd say the ones made in China are of better quality since you're more likely to lose your job if you make a mistake in china when compared to Finland where it's almost impossible to get fired --> people tend to be lazy. Quality control is in place to catch handsets that aren't within tolerances.

Most quality issues with Nokias handsets are of a design nature rather than of a construction issue.

hmm... I am not a Finn but I have been living in Finland for quite some time and I dont think Finns are lazy at all..

Maybe depending on the industry one works this can hold the truth but still...
I have seen some weird things like people playing games at work (where I come from people would be fired straight away) but still they manage, somehow, to gtd.

Maybe we have deviated a bit from the post topic... :P just MAYBE!

Btw, I have ordered my N900 and I am damn anxious for it to arrive.

Thats plain bs and a stupid generalization. I used to work in a manufacturing factory as a summer trainee back in highschool and I would say that those bluecollar workers I met were really hard working and honest people.

This kind of talk is just ignorant and doesn't have a base on any facts.

Maybe N900 is sold on summit
That would be ok for me and worth the trip to Amsterdam all alone :-)
(at least better than to preorder - have it delayed - only getting it AFTER the summit...)
