But it will get too famous in the market (like N73 & 6300).... thats the main reason I'm backing to buy it...

These tests are design phrase tests only.
The models show here carry the produce development code name rather than the actual model number.
All the test models
pre-production batches are to be tested this way.
It is like BETA testing.
Actual phones we get DOES NOT get this sorta treatment. Only one in a few thousand would be picked out and used as build quality samples and to be tested this way.
I got phones that has clear evidence they have NOT do any tests after they went off the production line.
Notebook makers also does similar testing for most of their designs. There were similar duration test videos released by all brands on their notebooks at one stage or another.

are you guys that dumb...
if they checked all phones, the phones we get will have dents and scratches...
they check a few so they no if it is a good model!
once they decide the phone is well built, they make loads more of them and ship them without the check...
(though they might check one in a hundres or so...)

Very good decision indeed as lot of consumer don't have any understanding about it. Also consumers have biased opinion about country specific production. For example, made in China production of Nokia handsets. Very unfortunate, people haven't come out of such stupid ideas.

No way they can afford to test each and every phone. That would slow down the production and higher the costs so much that it would be bed business to build phones. No way Nokia! This is just marketing for naiv people.

i do believe that , testing phones are QC .
but to test EACH phone that is ready , is something that is almost impossible to do.
but i do believe if they said that they test one of five units produced like other manufacturers use to do , if the tested phone failed , then its less one phone likely to fail out of box . or if it passed then its another good quality unit to be sold.
dont expect every phones are tested , yours are not vertus . where demands are always large , how do you expect to fulfill the demands of nokia buyers while every phone units are waiting to be tested?

Alexzander, 24 Nov 2008yo, guys.
all phones go through these tests so this is not... more No, only prototypes have these test to find the serious design problems.
On mass production none of the phones have these tests. They have a functional and cosmetic check by one of the QA operatives. That is it, nothing more. Because of that phones can be very different compared to each other. One might last years the other dies after few days. A lot can depend on the technicians who rework the faulty ones from the productions line. They might do a rubbish job. And since the QA check is always the same, visual and quick functional these badly repaired phones can get out of factory as well. This is not only for Nokia, it is for all manufacturers of electronics equipment.
But, anyway, phones are not build to last these days. Fan boys will replace them every six months anyway.
