No, he did not say specifically which country, just "European", though I have read (I believe here on the Forums) that the Country is indeed Spain.

Interestingly, I just checked the original package (same as a Black 50g), and the HP Product number is also F2229AA#ABA, where the trailing "ABA" means product for the USA. Not sure what this means...

I too have never noticed before that the LCD in the Blue unit is slightly shifted to the left, as compared to a black 50g. It is possible that HP sourced a new part along the way (50g has been in production since 2006) and that ALL late production 50g's use this left-shifted LCD design. After owning a few 50gs for many years, none with shifted LCD (I think ;-) ), I also did just get a new one recently with the low price at Amazon, but that's still sealed. If all goes as planned, it will be many years before I find out about this one.
