I got a strap with mine as it's made in Finland. I don't think theres any difference. The build quality of mine isn't fantastic, the top right softkey creaks when you press it, the joystick doesn't sit in the centre of the phone, it's angled downwards. Theres quite alot of debate about made by Nokia, Made in Finland. I don't think it matters. As for where it's made it could be Hungary, Germany or China. My 3250's made in Germany, many of my other Nokia phones were made in Hungary.
