you can never say what is best but in my experiences things that are made in germany, japan, france etc last longer than those made in china, taiwan etc. why? not because people put together a phone better in japan but because companies usually take their high-end devices to places which are more familiar with people as high-end
for an example you buy a 10.000$ pre-amp and it says made in china, most people would be a little dissapointed although i'm in no doubts that it can be as good as that which was made in england...
at least i think so, i may be totally wrong here, maybe they've just got a cheaper deal in japan but i found that almost impossible...
if i am correct p series are mostly made in france, s series are mostly made in japan right? |

@mmsman - I definitely AGREE with you here dude. But if we can just make notice that ALMOST all of the fones being manufactured TODAY are being done in CHINA - for the very obvious reason of . . . very cheap LABOR cost! How I wish that SE can have it fones manufactured AGAIN in Sweden (Ericsson) just like before. But if given a choice here, I would still GO for fones which are Japan made rather than China ones . . . even to say that Quality Control is still in PLACE ! |

And my T610 is made in Malaysia, batt made in Korea and finished in Malaysia.
With multi national enterprises it doesnt count where your device was made, but the level of quality control the brand have on them.
BTW, if you're postin from a PC, like me, and have and Intell processor, you have a chance it comes from Costa Rica.

Oh yeah and I just FORGOT to mention that - Malaysia was Ericsson's next manufacturing of fones-venture back then, as my T10 was made in Malaysia . . . I am just wodering why SE have it S700 model fones-some manufactured in Japan, for the very obvious reason that China's labor is cheaper, so goes with the P800 - France  ! |

But it doesn't mean that they're worst or better, they just came from different production lines, and maybe on the inside all are made of chinesse parts.

@asterix - Surely mate . . .as SE will NOT compromise it's fone's QUALITY over cheap labor cost! As, Quality Control is STILL being taking note of . . . everytime newly manufactured fones comes out of the assembly line - product testing, such as, drop test etc. |
