Guys... over on Howard forums they are writing about a N97 (NAM) and a non NAM model.... I thought that Nokia had only one version of this phone, and that they were all unlocked... am I wrong..?

only phones sold through operators, with associated discounts with that operator will be locked. NAM phones sold through NOkia USA will not be locked. I mean - who would they lock them to???
Most eBay sellers will get ''Made by Nokia'' Asia Pacific version. N97-1 N97 nam most probably will be made in China. All the videos I've seen so far are N97-1 which is not nam and it's Made in Finland!
Any comments....??

I'm planning to buy one because the phone seems very handy and advanced. It looks the perfect phone to go travelling. It has GPS, gaming, TV and WLAN Connectivity. I'm sure that I will buy that phone this year.
Im still worried about the NAM version thing.... and it appears that not all N97 phones will be made in the same place... some are made in China, and some are made in Finland...????
(nokia still makes phones in Finland) ??? !!!!!!

The first run usually takes place in their own Finland factory - often with more hand work, and closer inspection of the process. Diehard Nokia fans prefer the made in Finland models, but the differences are so minute that I'd ignore that.
After the first run, they start production in the outsourced plants around the world.
