BlackBerry Bold 9700 - Where is yours made?

Where is yours made? Seems some have build quality issues with devices made in Mexico. I bought mine sim free last month, is 'Made in Hungary 2' and had been perfect so far...touch wood!

Says Hungary 2 on mine.

Already bought a Sena Ultraslim leather case for it (didn't like the short included one) and a couple of the dock pods which are excellent in the bedtime mode showing the clock on dim.

Mic/play/pause works with my Klipsch S4i earphones and sound quality is also excellent to my SE DS980 stereo bluetooth headset.

Unlike my SE w960i, this only does voice calls to my TomTom 530 satnav. The SE also showed text messages.

Really pleased with it with all my media on a 16GB card.

Mine was a Vodafone contract phone which I've unlocked and using a PAYG Orange SIM with BIS at £5/month

Mine is also Made in Hungary 2, perfect so far, although I notice the trackpad has sunk down a little to the left(but that's only because I'm a perfectionist so notice the smallest of details, the missus can't see it).

Can't fault it, nothing is wrong with it at all, have had it for about 3 months now.

Mine's also made in Hungary, and when I voted here it was working perfectly. Then today, for no reason, the phone started making a loud static type sound whatever button I pressed. Totally unusable.

Getting a replacement sent on Monday.
