China Nokia N8

I received a gift of a Nokia N8 from a friend. This was after I had bought a Nokia E7. I wanted to protect my new N8 so I put in a power-on password. When I switched off the the phone and switched it back on, it asked for the password. I keyed in what I had already defined as the password but the phone rejected it.
I took the phone N8 to the Nokia agents in Ghana but they told me they don't work on China phones. Now I can't clear the password and so I cannot use the phone.
What do I do?

Even if its manufactured in China..IF the phone is a genuine Nokia product, I do not think Nokia Care anywhere in the world can refuse attending to it.
Nokia Warranty is strictly regionalised and a phone bought in a different market will not be serviced under warranty.
I have not mentioned anything about Warranty.. Anyways the subject problem can not be served under Warranty even if its in the same Region, I think...
..even the OP doesn' t mention anything about the Warranty but 'I took the phone N8 to the Nokia agents in Ghana but they told me they don't work on China phones.'

Made in china nokia 808 build quality problem ?

There are some infomation on the web saying that made in china nokia 808 s not having the original carl zesis lens. is there any truth in this ?

I live in Australia and can tell you that all the Nokia phones I have bought since 2002 have been made in China.
As far as the hardware is concerned the fit and finish is great and I have never had a problem. But the software is a different problem. The only problem with made in China is that you have to be wary of counterfeits, but if you buy from a reputable dealer this should not be a problem. I buy a lot of model railway equipment that is made in China. Fit and finnish is great. Never had a problem.

Nokia N97, Phone from hell (CHINA), built for the ...

Well the subject spells it out, No need to address all the issues. My biggest dissappointment besides a $600 phone not functioning after only 5 weeks of use is; I paid premium price for a premium mobile phone. For the price of a N97 I could have bought a good notebook and a simple mobiel phone. The biggest issue was that is said "MADE IN CHINA". Does it matter where it was made vs who made it? Absolutely, does matter. When you pay top dollar for a complex device would you rather see it made in china, Korea or Finland? How many of you folks would buy the same item and choose to take one that is made in china? If they had told me that I would be recieving a chinese made original Nokia N97, I defintely would not have completed the purchase. I know I am not alone on this one.

no i does not matter where your nokia was made as long as it is genuine. my nokia was made in china as well for the US market. the quality and components are the same for all production plant of nokia irregardless of where it is made.

very poor quality!
often & prone hanging, corruption, un-informed restarting!!!
a whole lot of problems...
i inquired all stores and found out that all phnes to be released by nokia are gonna be china here forth!
god bless china, as we are still paying the price for the original good stuff n we get the lowest of the class....
lets hope the quality does not lower even more like the chinese phones sold at Dragon Market - dubai!!!!

Nokia presently has production units in (presented in alphabetical order): Brazil, China, Finland, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Mexico, Romania and South Korea. There was until recently also one in Germany. You can always check the current list of production units at: http://www.nokia.com/A4149133. For logistical reasons, it is likely that your Nokia device was made in a production unit close to your country, there is no cause to worry about quality based on the location in which your device was manufactured.

English version of user guide for nokia n77i china...

can someone please tell me as to where i can get the english version of user guide of the set "nokia n77i china mobile"... please..

If it's not on the nokia china website then you will need to contact "china mobile" for the user guide.
In other countries there is no such model as the N77i. Are you certain that you have a nokia and not a counterfeit phone?
The N77 was on limited release in some countries and you can find it's user guide here:

Nokia n95 and n96 made in finland, korea or china?

Hey all, I want to buy a nokia n95 8gb or a n96 with wifi and gps, im looking in ebay but im scared since there are a lot of fakers... some phones says they are authentic but they are made in china and/or korea. I want to know where are the phones made so I can get a legit one, not a clone?

/discussions/board/message?board.id=topfaq&thread.id=20
check these two threads out and read through them carefully, the correct statement is marked with green/solution. hope this helps your quest. it does not matter where a genuine Nokia phone is made, it is still very much genuine, there are several factories in the world that make them hence, the difference in where they are actually made. it's a read worth taking

Nokia N97 NAM - - Made in China??

Is this true? That the NAM versions of the N97 are all made in China?
If so.. what versions / how will be the ones made in Finland?

Given your rank, Shayesta, you should know better than to post rubbish like this.
As already confirmed several times by the moderators and by other forum members, some of much lower status than yours, the plant that manufactures a phone has no bearing whatsoever on the build quality of that phone. Whether the phone comes from Hungary, Finland, China or any of the Nokia plants spread around the world, the end product will be absolutely identical. All the factories manufacture phones with identical components, identical machinery and identical processes.
This is a myth that ought to be stamped out once and for all. Unscrupulous retailers in the middle- and far-east perpetuate it and use it as an excuse to sell phones imported from Finland at a premium, or they even relabel phones imported via the normal channels (usually from China) thus voiding the warranty, all in order to charge a bit more and fleece the customer.
You of all people should know better.
See... the problem that I have is this. In the last year and 5 months a close friend and I have purchased 5 Nokia phones. I started with an E51 followed by an E71, then an N85. He purchased a 5800, and now N97. All of these have been NAM phones except the E51. The two E-series phones are made in Finland according to the tags. The others are all made in China. The E51 was never a problem. I'm still using the E71 on a daily basis very heavily. The N85 was replaced by Nokia within 1 month of me purchasing it. It had a defective speaker at first which is what I sent it in for. When Nokia received it they said it would no longer power on and replaced it with a new one. The 5800 would not work on 3G from day one. It was sent in and, according to the repair had a defective radio and was fixed. Now, the N97 is experiencing the same defective speaker issue as the N85 and it's only just over a week old. It now must be sent in for repair. It's extremely disheartening.
I really want to believe that the phones that are made in China are of equal quality, but the problem is that in my experience, Nokia phones have had a 60% failure rate. Five phones; three of them failed - all failures came from phones made in China. The two perfectly working phones are made in Finland.
I don't want to start a war on what parts are used by which fabricators. It appears that's irrelevant based on my first-hand experience. If or when I order a Nokia in the future I will forever feel as though I need to be diligent in making sure that the phone is made in Finland for fear that another made in China phone will result in yet another failure. I have plenty of products made in China. It's clear that they know how to assemble electronics over there. Sadly, the Nokias assembled there seem to be missing that classic Nokia quality that most of us have come to know.

Nokia N8 made in china?

Hi I wanna know if nokia n8 is made in china?
I am middle eastern so what is the country that makes n8
if it is china I will be a little afraid since most chinese nokia phone are not original are not working ok

The fact is China has a quality control problem, which is something Nokia should think about. It wasn't that long ago that they sold poisonous wheat gluten to the U.S, that killed hundreds of pets. It wasn't that long ago that the U.S. Bought drywall from China that all had to be replaced due to it giving off fumes and making people sick. It wasn't that long ago that the U.S. Bought tainted toothpaste from China that was recalled. Recently, they sold tainted infant milk that sickened a lot of infants. These are just a few I know about, I am sure these more.. I am sure in all these cases they said the quality of the product was the same as what you could buy else where. If I have a choice between something made in China or Finland, I would pick the Finland product. It's all backed up by facts.
Most average Joes don't know all these and lots of people have hard time understanding what quality assurance is really. Lots of people think of it as producing a good prototype , then clone that prototype into thousands other products LOL. We buy columns for GCS and HPLCs from a local company here: they don't guarantee that all columns are the same, in fact they are all different but within acceptable range. However, bad batch 'creep in' sometimes. And a bad batch would be the one which fall 3stdev outside the mean. Quality control is quite challenging and there's no way one can produce a clone, sometime we think we did but not really...Even machines (same ones) that help you with the production are not the same (ask quantum theory why).
You have given good examples. I'm also one of the victims of the "made in china things' (bought a motherboard and blew up in 2 days, bought Geforce 8800 GTS and failed in 3 months, bought 7.1 logitech speakers and they didn't deliver..All made in china). However the conclusion that anything made in china would be bad by default is misleading. Everything around me here as (except my MBP ) is made in china. It depends on how serious the quality control 'officers' are and how they value their morality. N97 wasn't useless because it was made in china, it's bad because of its poor specs.
So N8 made in china might be OK (if there are problems, then they may be blamed on specs).

Nokia C7 original made in china

Are there Nokia C7 original phones made in China ?

Well, Nokia does have a factory in China. The easiest way to know if you are using an original phone is the presence of Ovi Maps, and Ovi Store apps in the phone. If they arent there, then its fake.

Where does it say 3Gb? If you are just reading that from the phone's file manager, then perhaps try reformatting the card - it could be that something is corrupt and preventing the phone from reading the entire space.
As the others have said, there are not normally any 3Gb cards produced, so if the card has 3Gb physically written on it, then you need to be seriously worried about what you have been sold - if it is not a true Micro-SD card it would not have come from Nokia, so then you'd need to ask the question "Is the phone itself genuine?" - having said that, I've never yet seen 5800s coming from the well-known Chinese fakers.

Nokia n8 made in china comparing with made in finl...

whats the differance between chinese made n8 with finland make

Nokia has factories in many countries, the quality of the handsets and different accessories made in those factories is still the same.
so a phone manufactured in Finland, would have the same standards and quality with a device that is made in Brazil for example.

Made in China

I've been waiting for months for vodafone uk to stock the 820. Finally I contacted them arranged for the upgrade. During the call I stated that I did not want one that was made in China. I have nothing against the quality but in these difficult economic times it seems right to support manufacturers that are as local as possible. Vodafone assured me that they were shipping phones made Finland.
It arrived today and I was very excited until I saw the label n the box stating that it was Made in China. I haven't opened it, it is going back.
Vodafone now say that they cannot say where the phones they supply will have been manufactured and the only option is to check with their stores to see what stock they have. It makes it very onerous for the customer to get what they want.
Is there any chance that Nokia can provide an option for their customers where they can specify that they get a local manufactured product?
At the moment I guess my old N8 will have to soldier on. If I can only get Chinese phones it takes away a major Nokia USP.

Open letter to Nokia Messaging dev team: imap idle...

Hi,
I would like to ask the developers of Nokia Messaging if they are aware of the fact themailclient in the E72 isn't supporting Imap IDLE anymore.
Before, in the E71 for example, there was indeed a timesetting in the native client BUT this was used when the client got disconnected. for example:client connected > phonecall arrives, client disconnects > phonecall ends > client connects after 5 minutes (or any other timespan accoridng to the settings) and STAYS connected.
Nokia Messaging: if you set it up at 5 minutes it checks every 5 minutes for mail. This is NOT 'idling' on a server. 'Idle' means in this case 'stay connected, just sit there and wait for messages')
the specs on your site CLEARLY state for the E72:
Supported protocols: IMAP4 (with idle), Nokia Messaging, Microsoft ActiveSync, POP3, SMTP
This means that the product that i have bought IS NOT DOING what you promise. I could probably solve with start using Nokia Messaging but this and was never my intention. I just the phone to do what it is supposed to do: imap idle without the use of Nokia Messaging as stated in its specs (as it was before by the way).
WOULD APPRECIATE AN ANSWER!
Called Nokia support in Belgium. No answer from them.

We are far from being Nokia enemies. If anything, we are giving them free feedback. In corporate circles, concerned companies pay millions of bucks to the likes of Pricewaterhouse, etc to do strategic consulting, ie to tell them what really is right or wrong with their company, products, etc. In the new millenium, the internet and tools such as forums provide similar service, only at a fraction of the cost and a damningly honest one too!
My take on the matter is this: sure Nokia staff are reading these forums and laughing at us 'idiots'. The 'noise-makers' are few and far between. Nokia also has their die-hard fans (some people have never used any of the advanced features on their phones so would know little) as well as their own 'plants' (ppl who are Nokia employees tasked with dropping feel-good stories in various threads. I've done enough corporate consulting to know this ;-)
The same person who was supporting Nokia in this thread also had an extended argument with me in the afore-mentioned thread. Some people think someone having 300 odd contacts is a power-user (I have in excess of 1,300 contacts, 90% current and active). Some people questioned my desired to be able to snooze an alarm for a user defined period (that Nokia lover accused me for wanting "more bells & whistles than Fort Knox").
The last example is something simple that can implemented. My Palm circa 2003 had that feature. Say if an alarm sounds for a set event, but you are still in a meeting/busy, wouldn't it be gud to be able to snooze the alarm for a specified period, say 40 mins? At the moment, the E72 only lets you set ONE global snooze period which applies for all alarms.
The way I see it Nokia with its so-called business series of devices have 2 probs - (1) it has many bugs and high-end features that do no work as promoted / advertised, and (2) it lacks many simple features that cheaper/older phones have. Can't be too difficult for those Finns to decipher this, can it??
And what would happen to Nokia? Well, I think its getting so big headed in recent times that its alienating a lot of serious / old-time fans. In todays market, there is great variety of choice. If one is to get buggy and ill-designed products anyway then why pay premium dollars for a Finnish lemon when you can settle for a similar lemon (and at times with almost enuff bells & whistles to challenge Fort Knox) from say China, at a fraction of the price. And to think that many of these Chinese clones today ship with dual SIM capability as well as a (fuzzy no doubt) TV monitor!
My advice to folks out there, please do buy a Nokia if you are in the market for a cheap, no-frills phone to be used as a spare phone or on those mountain camping trips when a gud flashlight is required. But if you are looking for a serious BIZNESS SMARTPHONE, the E72 is definately not it. Still love you, darling!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'
