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.

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.

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 phones released in UAE are made in "CHINA"!

What is this world up to!!!
i purchased a 8800 saphire arte for 5,000 dhs and guess what, it is made in korea!
then later i purchased an N96 4,500 Dhs n it was made in china!
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.

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.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

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.

Are the new MB Pros, not Titanium? Are all the MB Pros made in China?

Hi, I keep hearing people referring to their old MAC BOOKS as Titanium Versions, does this mean that the new MBP are not Titanium? As a matter of interest what is the difference in the new Body of the MBP compared to their original 1G PowerBook G4?
Also are all the MBP everyone is buying or have bought recently and in the past, Made in China? Another question just for curiosity sake.
Thanks....

China just helps to make the stuff... Apple in California just gives designs and makes a little bit of it's stuff that makes the macs stuff work.
The Macbook Pro only about 50 % is made from China just like iPods, MP4's well pretty much everything is made from China.. my friend went there.. well I went with him and were only 13 ^_^ well we bought a lot of stuff that was soo cheap.. and high quality things. I find that it's cheaper to live there but I found out you have to pay more taxes if you EVER have kids.
Ok well back to what you wanted to know.. the macbook air, pro and macbook they are just regularly made from China and California.... Some of their stuff is very cheap and isn't very good... you don't need to worry the apple technical support does EVERYTHING and you can always return it
I am glad to help you if you EVER need anything.

Made in China vs Made in Europe (Germany, Hungary,...

Many stores here, at least the ones i've checked, told me that made in europe are of a higher quality than made of china, and some even claim that made in china is fake.. not only that but they also as for more money if you want a european version...
can anyone shed any light on this matter?
is it true made in europe of a better quality?
is it Okay by them to ask more money for those phones?
I am wishing to buy either 5130 or 5310 and in both phones the difference between chinese and europeans phones comes up to $100 which is very big..
help!
thanks!

Very few Nokia phones are still made in the EU. Like most other manufacturers they've had to move production to Asia to be able to better compete on price.
You are still buying a product designed by an EU company so where it is made is totally irrelevant. If you really don't want a phone that is made in Asia then you need to keep hold of an old product and use that.
I know that the topic is old, but I would still like to ask which are those who are still made in EU and not in China or Korea, Malaysia or anything.
thank you.

N79 made in china???? what about quality?

i want to know that n79 made in china is same in quality as made in finland or hungary??? coz the dealer here says that nokia has their manufacturing unit in china also so they are of the same quality..........

As long as it is made by nokia it should have passed the QC test in which ever country it is made in.
It uses the very same chips and modules.
Just be careful as china also has immitations which looks just like the real ones.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Any way to verify where the Nokia set is Made?

I have bought this set. This is a new set. Made in Finland. The thing I want to know is there any way I can know that this set is originally made in finland or not. I mean is there any type of way to verify. It is written in the back that "Made in Finland but is there any other way to verify by using the IMEI number or anything else?
My question:
Is there any way to know by using the IMEI number oir anything else without the label in the set and the box to verify where the Nokia set is made?
I preferred to buy the "Made in Finland" without "Made by Nokia". I bought "Made in Finland"
My set is:
Nokia N70 Music Edition

Nokia has production facilities in a number of countries manufacturing phones to the same high standards, provided that you take care to buy a genuine Nokia device from a reputable source, the country in which the device was made should make no difference whatsoever.

N97 made in China!?

Hi there,
someone got a brandnew N97 from O2 in Germany. The interesting thing is the packages says "Made in China". My own N97 was made in Finland, as expected. Does Nokia really assemble some N97 in China? Or could this be a faked phone!? But I do not expect O2 to sell faked phones... What does Nokia say about this?
Here you can see a picture of the package:

Thanx

Yes skype works on the N97, so does Fring
Yes you can go on the internet, but if you don't have unlimited data on your account it could get expensive, if you have any other questions check out the USER SEARCH at the top of the page. If you can't find an answer, then start a new post , but there are 100's of posts already on the N97.
Good Look

N82 - Made In China - Chinese quality - Disappoint...

I've recently bought a new, Chinese-made N82.The phone is genuine.
It was the most stupid thing i could do.
How can NOKIA QUALITY ASSURANCE let this happen? How can NOKIA roll out phones in such conditions?
I'm really disappointed as this has never happened to me, i've bought over 10 nokia phones and i've never got one in this condition. This is the only Chinese-made i ever had
Never buy a Nokia phone made in China, you will regret it!

i bought my n82 last year. this is how it looks today. this phone is also made in china. no issues, the best build and overall phone with fp1.

correct, they are of the same quality as finland or hungary. nokia uses similar quality assurance processes in each country to ensure that phones manufactured are of high quality. so nothing to worry about there.
