I expected comments like these. You can't avoid everything, as nearly everything has been outsourced to be manufactured there. But sure we can stop buying useless crap sold at Kmart/Target etc. May be buy clothes made in our own countries. There are still people who do that. May be a little more expensive but more incentive to buy less and support local as well as help the environment. To answer the "phone" question, it's made in Taiwan!
