on Nokia N9

It seems no one has mentioned this b4 on Nokia N9, that its beautifully crafted curved gorilla corning glass is actually not one WHOLE piece, but made up of FOUR pieces, across all models released in China, Singapore and Finland (N9 is only manufactured in Finland, China, and nowhere else according to the news).

From all the demo videos online, it is almost impossible to figure this out, but when I had hands on a demo set in a Nokia shop in Shanghai, and playing round with my own set bought in Singapore, and got it under sunlight, the glass reflection clearly shows one horizontal and one vertical straight joining edge within the glass.

Then I went on to watch various product review videos carefully and finally was able to notice the same issue for the Finnish model as well from an Engadget N9 product review video on a Finnish set.

The Made-in-China model screen has a four equal divisions within the screen, while the Made-in-Finland set screen has somewhat a bigger half on the left with equally partitioned upper and lower areas.

Why no one else voices this out yet? or no one else actually notices this? hmmm
