A new HP-35S calculator made in Philippines?

This HP-35S was made in China by Kinpo TW for HP.

Now SAT1410 from the MoHPC has discovered a eBay seller advertising a new model made in Philippines.

The blister labels says:
- Made in Philippines
- (c) Copyright 2015 HP
- HP Product #: F2215AA#ABA
- Serial No. PHA65101FY.


I wonder if the alleged firmware bugs have been fixed on this new production run..

28-Jan update: 
Nope, the firmware is the same as the original Chinese series. Confirmed by a fellow MoHPC member.


What happened is that Kinpo TW has deployed new manufacturing plants in Philippines to produce general consumer electronics products, while the China plants are used for professional equipment.
