Nokia E65 & E Series Tips Tricks and Reviews

Where did your Nokia come from?

Apparently... the serial number on your mobile phone (also known as the IMEI number) can tell you where your nokia phone was assembled. The Nokia E65 has had rave reviews and rotten reviews and part of the reason is possibly because of the quality of phone based on the batch in which it was produced. Here's the theory, let us know where your E65 falls and whether you have been happy with its performance (ie no cracked screen, continuous crashes, etc).

  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 0 , 2 or 2 , 0 this means your cell phone was assembled in Emirates which is very Bad quality
  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 0 , 8 or 8 , 0 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality
  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 0 , 1 or 1 , 0 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very Good
  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 0 , 0 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality
  • IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 1 , 3 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very Bad quality and also dangerous for your health
For me, my phone has a 01 as 7th,8th numbers and that means according to the theory it was assembled in Finland and of good quality. I have been very happy with the phone so for the theory, we're one from one. What about you? To check what IMEI number your Nokia phone is, press *#06#.

    My phone did crash quite frequently, but after I updated the firmware everything has worked fine for the past few months.

  7. My E71-2 (NAM) IMEI is 2,0. Yet the phone is MADE IN FINLAND. The quality is fantastic.

  8. Finland - but my E65 backlight on the numeric keypad hasn't worked for some time and my phone sometimes crashes when I unplug it from my charger, so I'm not sure if I agree with the theory!

    Your blog is so great by the way. Full of useful information and browsing through it has made me like my phone again - despite the light and crashes.

    Take care and have a great year.
