When I got mine the other day, I was offered the box with the lady on with o2, vodaphone and T-Mobile (my eventual settle) and when I asked about Orange they showed the other box your talking about.

I think it's just style. My take is that the 'lady' box contains the 'classic' style silver phone, and the other box contains the red and black phone. Could just be a case of differing covers that come with the phone.

come on guys! cant any one of you help me? i really need to make my mind up! N/A, Nk_au, ghostdog?? any1! tell me what to do!

Hi vicky, i really appreciate u replying. but now i am really confused. im having difficulty understanding wot u r trying to say! should i buy the asian one? i mean the one which is made/assembled in china? yes i m getting warranty for 15 months. will there be any difference in the softwares? i mean opera n all will be there right? n i've heard dat with the asian version u get a 128 card! how can dat b ven the asian version is cheaper? yes i did travel abroad to malaysia n it was cheap there n i think they also had the same china one. i dont know wot to do!

i brought asian version
i was geeting the filand made but withour warrenty
u r getting 15months warrenty
and i think that u will change the set in 15 months
and one thing more
i get 64mb card
and opera,ulead mstyle and some more things

and hope u will get the same
don't worry it will give u proper satisfaction
its a phone not a life

well i have heard that nokia make the lot onces of the set and then the other production units makes and its bussy on any other devopment or to find errors

and the raw material like handfree and mmc and other are almost same
buy this one
and u will get the right thing
nothing difference

No matter where a model is manufactured, it is done basically with the same components from the same suppliers resulting in the same product.

The differences come from what firmware is flashed onto it (principally which language variants & what kind of sales package box it is, including variations in manuals, warranty cards, etc.), and who they're sold to (who ordered them), which governs pre-installed applications (built-in or on memory card), settings, other operator customization and such.

It seems that the first batches of any model Nokia first tends to build in Finland, and the following batches closer to where they are sold/ordered.
