yes but they are chinese because in china labour is very cheap in comparision to any other country also the government of china gives huge tax discounts and offers to MNC's to attract investment(unlike our country which is full of scams and scandals and i feel very bad for my great country), not just mobile phones dude but every electronic is chinese, You will be amazed if you notice carefully then you will how deep roots china has in every countries economy, infact not just electronics but even things like furniture(u must have heard about IKEA) my fridge compressor is also chinese, my tv, my home theater, my gfx card, my proccy, my mobo, my ram, my keyboard, my mouse, my mobile, my memory card, my pendrive, CFL bulb(kits made in china) and lot and lot of things we can't even imagine, nowadays chinese soaps are also available, china is killing our home industry our economy and they have already took our land Near Kashmir they have made thier bases 11kms inside the indian boundary and we are just sitting, god knows when our gov. will wake up, As far as sony and htc are concerned they have certain quality inspection and guidelines which chinese OEM manufacturer follows very well, Motorola is best in terms of build quality(i own atrix 2) because they are the only manufacturer who follows 'Six Sigma' or 'Sigma Six' its an extreme quality check it states 1 defect for per 3 million products i.e 99.9990% products will be defect free, for more info on Sigma Six just google it. @
