Mine is 'Made in Finland'... coming from Jumbo Electronics [the Sony retailer].

They aren't posting the 'white' on their website...

...but if enquired personally - they get it 2 u in 24-hrs. @ 100% adv... probably fetching it from the mkt stores 4 u - but makes sense to buy it from Jumbo 'coz then u get their 1-yr warranty.

I'd like to compare Finland made N9 side by side with my China N9 to see if the rumor/urban legend is true or not

In all probabilities it is indeed an 'urban legend'...
I'm having both & they r identical in all aspects -- usage, feel, build, battery et all.

Coz mine have screen issue(those notorious stripes when low light luminance), body got creaky(with sound), kinda heat up when using 3G straight for hours.

I do aware some of the above problems have been addressed in several threads, so I am pretty familiar with em', however what's interesting, I am wondering maybe, maybe Finnish made ones won't have above problem :P , Or I am just dreaming LOL~!

I have 3 N9s @ home, all colors; & another [white] is being added by month-end. Let me tell u -- none of my N9s have ANY ISSUES as reported by any/many over the forums.

I've been an avid iPhoner since 2007... always had all the iPhones... never had any problems with them... I thus, compare my N9s to the iPhones... they do not pose any problems as well.

My experience with N9s [till date] has been FANTASTIC !

Anybody else disappointed with the hardware after a few months?

Design-wise its still very cool of course, but the materials (i.e. the hyped polycarbonate) just doesn't feel as good as metal or glass.

I compare it to my E71, which was maybe not as sexy but was still making me "proud" after 2 years.

Anyway, guess that's the wrong thread

I have a made in Finland and made in China, the Finland one has a better screen (no green tinge) and the body isn't creaking (yet).

Should also note that the LED light doesn't work when charging on the made in china one, does on the made in finland...
