As mentioned earlier, /// for me too is for Europe.. Think SE would ensure same standards (hopefully Good) across their Manufacturing or Contracted facilities, yet am thankful for not having black marks (made in China). /// T10s was European, T310 was Malaysia, ditto 610 (i think), P8 was France. Not sure but think the 910 is of Swedish make. And my trusty S700 is Jp thats been almost a year, the batt. on it though says Made in Japan Finished in China - Yeah Rite, once you are in China you are finished LoL

Just because phones are made in China or asia doesn't necessarily make it sub standard or of a lower build quality. Both machinery and labour capital in asia have increased dramatically over the last decade, and is comparable to Europe or Western manufacturers.
The only difference it the cost of working capital being lower. It doesn't mean the workers/ quality control are inferior at all.
It's public conception that all products made in China are dodgy (Those unbranded junk don't help their image) but overall if its done a quality manufacturer it'll be the same product.
In fact, I bet if you got one phone made in Asia and one made in Sweden and took off the labels you could not tell which was made in where.

I agree with you Quintessence. I don't think it matters where these are made as I am sure they will ensure the highest standard wherever they are made.

@BobaFett- Could be. My memory is slippin on me as I have got siblings who care for it now. As for the MiC factor- its not that I've nt used. Still have Sony prods that were made in Indonesian, Thai, Sg or China. An odd incident (and affirmation of others) makes one to doubt. Being in India we do have a lot of imports from ASEAN etc. Infact my Sony KP- E41MN11 has Malay/Sg components & did had issues. BtW- is User 75558 related to you BobaFett? Check that profile/ UserName ;)

Aren't the phones still made by Flextronics? The company that, by their very name, are designed to be flexible and switch production from plant to plant to meet demand. The demand for the K750 and W800 has been phenomenal. In August, the K750i was the UK's top selling phone. The launch of the advertising campaign for the W800 was delayed a month because SE knew they wouldn't be able to meet demand.
I've been on factory tours with Motorola, Nokia and Samsung and the industrial equipment (in all these cases made by Fuji I think) doesn't allow much to go wrong. If you see the production line, 'human input' is minimal. In all cases, the workers were extremely professional - and certainly in Korea, pretty well paid too (in relative terms).
At every stage, the phones are tested thoroughly. It's probably virtually impossible to get something that's DOA these days. There's more chance of it getting damaged in transit, by a distributor or a dealer that gets one in and has a play with it before selling it!
