Default Inspire 4G is it made in Taiwan or China ?

Hi Guys just want to know is this Htc Inspire 4G is made in Taiwan or China? I tried to Google but cant find anything not even a clear close up picture of the batt cover removed where it says the made in . So can anyone confirm where this is Made in i will really appreciate it. The reason im asking is because i had very bad experience with the HTC HD2 from Tmobile which was made in China and then at the same time i was having Non Tmobile HD2 and its was perfect because was made in Taiwan.

Wouldn't the phone be made in the same place that the box says it's made in? The battery might be made in China, but I think if the box says it's made in Taiwan, it is talking about the phone.

Actually, I'd be interested to find out if other people see the same discrepancies between phones made in different places, but most people don't really bother checking the country of origin, unfortunately.

Well, I believe most phone are being made in China already. HTC just every other phone maker have factory in China, usually in the southern China area where they make the phone. IPHONE is made by Foxconn which the factory is located in China. The company is famous to run sweat shop down there.

Actually, HTC has a lot of phones not made in China.

This HTC Thunderbolt is made in Taiwan, as evidenced in this video:

You might have to use 720p to read the packaging.

Similarly, this HTC Evo 4G is made in Taiwan.

This video below shows that this guy's Inspire 4G is made in Taiwan.

It's the sticker on the box on the bottom right. It goes by very fast.

My own HTC Aria is also made in Taiwan.

Personally, I've never seen an iPhone that's not made in China, but if this is something that's important to you, then I would suggest looking at HTC. I know HTC makes some of their phones in China, as well, but I'm pretty sure they have their own factories in Taiwan, as well, since so many of their phones are made in Taiwan.

Guess different places have different assembly lines. I think the 4G phones might be currently made in Taiwan.
