There is no difference in any of the phones depending on their manufactured location. All phones are made under the supervision of certified Nokia Engineers, using Genuine Nokia Parts and accessories. All the PCB's are made using the same industrial robot. Housing's are made using Plastic manufactured to the same standard,
The only difference is the Sales Package. With Finland Phones, you will get stuff like bigger manuals, data cables and TV-Out Cables, while Made By nokia phones offer you slightly different accessories.
The difference is in your mind, which is a trick mobile retailers in srilanka (And Many other countries) use.
Haven t you noticed ? Finland Phones are expensive than the rest.
There are four Nokia Manufacturing Plants, Finland (Salo, Turku), Germany, Hong-Kong/China and Hungary.
Finland Phones are manufactured for the European market, to reduce costs of shipping (Because its closer), similarly Made By nokia Phones are for the Asian Market. Thats is why they are cheaper than the Finland Made ones in Asian countries. Finland Made Phones which are available in Sri Lanka are mostly smuggled ones. (Smuggled in the sense, they are not brought in to the country by genuine Nokia certified retailers) -
Not Sure ?
Check a recent "Soflogic" purchased Phone for its manufactured location...
Bottomline- Go for What you can acquire,Its always good to purchase a phone with warranty.
But Phones durability depends on its usage.
