Just get the phone, don't be worried if its not made in Finland. Like JonInTheHouse said, that's a waste of time. It shouldn't be a waste of money because all phones should be of the same price.
Have you updated your firmware using NSU? The popping and crackling that was so popular on the N73 when it first came out was eliminated with the new firmware update. I'm not even talking about the ME version that JUST came out. I mean the one just prior to that. I don't know the number. I have a feeling it's the same problem, but it's being amplified over your headsets.
what other phones that really matters from where country it was made from? samsung?sony-ericsson?motorola?it seems I keep in seeing people crying about nokia's made in finland alot of times...
