Ok just so I am clear, notice that I used words that suggest that these are not facts. I don't know for sure if this is true or not, BUT I do know that my E61 is bulletproof (Made in Finland). My N73 was made wherever and I really don't have any complaints either. I have read here that a lot of N73s made elsewhere are "creaky" (as is mine) though this is not enough of a reason to say that it is sub-standard. I love both of my Nokia devices equally and in my heart I believe that it really doesn't matter where they are made, as long as they are genuine Nokia product.
I must admit though that when I do purchase my next Nokia device it must be made by those cute blondes ... but you must take into account that I am a hardcore fanboy.
