Lahat ng napagtanungan ko sa mall made in China ang n97. Does anyone know kung may available na made in Finland here?

[baste]

does it matter?

when will OVI be compatible with MAC?

does it matter?

Well, I really prefer a unit made in Finland rather than China.

I'm interested with the new Nokia 5230. Is this a good model?

I would like to have a phone that will always allow me to access the internet - not just for browsing Yahoo mail but to access PEX and other blogspots that I'm monitoring from time to time. Will the 5230 serve my purpose or should I get a 5800 instead. I would really like to have an N97 but it's beyond my budget.

The browser is definitely not in par with the other high-end smartphones out there, pero kung simpleng site layout lang like blogs and Yahoo mail, pwede na. I'm even surprised that it can take Twitter's default site.

Haven't tried browsing PEx on the phone.

Beware though, yung ibang sites pag masyadong malaki ang size or maraming pics, biglang magc-close yung browser. Hehe.

[crazp]

basta ang mga nokia NAM version ay either made in china or south korea.

Testing it right now. Yep, PEx loads just fine on this phone's browser. It's even showing the flash banner above.

The lowest price I found is on http://www.wowmobile.com.ph at P23,400.00

That looks like a very good price. Many of the ones I have seen are in the 25k-27k region. Sounds like a good deal.

Has anyone bought from this online shop? How reliable is it?

[Gospel of Judas]

eh diba kalimitan sa finland naman galing ang parts pero sa china inaassemble?

Ganyan na nga ngayon. Very rare na to find locally yung made in Finland.

Planning to buy an N97 next week. All set na sana ako sa http://tradeport.ph/ until I found http://www.wowmobile.com.ph on this thread. Laki ng difference! Almost 3k. Thanks for the tip.

Guys, any feedback on http://www.wowmobile.com.ph?

^ yung prices nila don't have the Nokia one year warranty. It is a separate option when you click on the phone. Like for example click on the N97mini you have 22,500 price. Now click on the manufacturer warranty option and it becomes 25,200. The N97 classic becomes 26,200. The other sites and stores include the Nokia warranty in their price. So technically, this store is the same price. No advantage. Same price as http://www.cmkcellphones.com/nokialink.html which all have 1yr Nokia warranty.

There is nothing wrong with buying a non-nokia warranty, but it is a risk as you pay for the price of parts. On a nokia warranty, you pay nothing as long as you are not at fault of breaking the phone.

Personally, i'd rather go to a store that can test it in front of me. I don't like the fact that they did not say Nokia warranty is not included in the selections or they might have hidden it.

[baste]

yeah, and better may warranty talaga for such a high priced phone

[LabuyoXVIII]

Like what everyone has said, most of the gadgets now are being assembled in China. Gone are the days when there's a difference in quality when you say your Nokia phone is made in Finland, Germany, and China.

Plus, sabi mo nga - it's hard to find a Finland-made Nokia phone.

Thanks for this. I didn't notice they had hidden the warranty option. Quite tricky huh?

Thanks again.

If you're planning to use the phone for int browsing, I'd suggest you get one with wifi access.


the 5230 is fine for it's price range. got this for my wife last month. except for the wifi and the absence of vid calling and cam flash, its a pretty functional touch phone.
