    Re: B & O Beosound 3: Made in China? Other products, too?

    well, let's stop this discussion... if there is any chinese in this forum, i hope we should not continue this topic.. the reason is ... why do they only write in chinese for the "made in Austria". Everyone knows if B&O wanna let all know, they should write in english. But now... it is written in chinese. why? because only chinese wanna know this "meaningless" fact. Actually, who will care where it is made when B&O means a perfect product condition? 

    As a chinese, i feel shy on this. Once again, chinese become a joke of the rest of the world. so please... forget this, and enjoy a wonderful B&O world.

    Didn't catch that fact. I agree that Chinese writing for the Austrian market is somewhat off-key. Maybe a mistake was made in shipment? You should check with your dealer.

    -------------------
    I wear a Breitling watch...anything to do with you T.W.G? After i bought it i had a problem immediately and Breitling said that they would change the face and the whole automatic works in it...s
    ----------------

    @joff135: Could you describe the 1st part "anything to do with you T.W.G?" a little bit; I'm unsure about the right translation :)

    But I fully understand your position with the Breitling watch! On a VERTU-mobile phone you won't ever  find 
    "Made in China"

    T.W.G are the main Breitling watch distributer and servicing agents in the UK...i just thought that you might be the MD!

    Don't want to shatter too many people's dreams but most Nokia phones are now made in China, as are a lot of Sony products.

    But how many of you know that if you drive a Jeep Cherokee, BMW X3 or Chrysler Voyager it was built in Austria by a company called Magna Steyr (they also manufacture some low volume models for VW, Mercedes and Saab) and - here's one for the Porsche fans - the Boxster's and Caymans are all made in Finland by a company called Valmet.

    Whether that matters depends on your viewpoint. It would be nice to think that B&O stuff was made in Denmark but this is the real world.

    Magna Steyr do the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander - but not the Cherokee model.

     Yes, there are some surprises lying in wait for the brand aficionado who scratches the surface too deep!
