hey,
yesterday i bought my new w850i ! for the time being it seems great !
well the camera isn't that great ! but the phone looks great ! and the new walkman ROCKS !
but it seems that there's a problem in the phone ! first it's made in china ?!?
should i be worry about that !?! or it's fine ? the second thing is that inside the walkman key ( the orange key upside the play/stop button) there are some spots it seems like glue spots ( you won't notice it if you won't turn on the walkman ) ( then the keys will become orange, or blue if you have the white color ) am i the only one ! is it a normal thing ! please help !

Cool phone dude!

The 2 glue spots are on mine. It must be where the walkman button fits into the casing. Nothing to worry about.

Most SE's i've owned and seen were not made in china. Mine and my friend's K700 was made in Korea and my W800 was also somewhere other than china.

I too have a white W850i. I believe the spots you mention are certainly not glue spots. On mine there are two main lights on the orange Walkman button and a total of 3 or 4 orange circles. One on the left-hand side, one on the right-hand side and two in the centre of the button that are kind of stuck together. I do believe, this is normal.
My phone was also made in China and I too found that a bit of a problem. However I was informed that all W850 phones are made in a SE factory in China, so hopefully this should not be a real cause for concern.
As for the light-changing navigation buttons, this is meant to be like that.
I do have a question for polish_boy, though. Does the battery cover on your white W850i hold 100% firm or it budges just a tiny bit up and down and left to right whithout any danger of being accidentally opened?
Cheers.

my T610 was made in China ! and my K750 was also Chinese ! when i got first my W800 it was made in China and i remember that i had a problem with the Bluetooth ! after that i got a new one it was Malaysian and i had no problem with it ! now my W850 is made in China too ! and i hope it's not like the Chinese W800 ! people are telling me that all the W850 are made in China ! so i should not worry about it !

My black W850i also has spots showing when the Walkman button is pressed. They show up through the backlight. Not sure where it was made as i never bothered to check.

my malaysian w800 had a problem with its BT!got it replaced with a chinese one!

mine also have the so called "glue spots" It;s not a big deal anyway, probably it is the result of the internal plastic construction that causes it.

Every
phone I bought had been made in Sweden.
Don't they manufacture any model here anymore?
Posted by polish_boy
most of SE mobiles are made in China or Malaysia
the P-series are made in France and the W950 are made in France too
the W900 and S700 are made in Japan .
frankly i didn't see any swedish SE phones ! ?
Posted by polish_boy
swedish SE phone !!!???
Posted by mobse
The only Swedish W850i I saw was a prototype in an online review. Seems common sense that prototypes are made in Sweden, and the rest (unfortunately) in China. I believe my T100 was made in Malasya.
