a) why do many here still argue like the Neo900 was a board only? Please reread the post#1 and the oneliner above the poll you may or may not have voted in.

b) case, screen, battery etc pp: 150; CPU: 50; modem: 100; WLAN+BT: 30; RAM+NAND: 25; storage: 30; codec: 10; other stuff on BOM: 150; PCB: 30; soldering: 50; etc pppackaging
fixed costs: something like 15..40k = another 75..200/device @batch200 (all prices incl appropriate reserve to handle risk and defects)
did you do the math? I'm already hoping for some improvements/bargains we can find during development and production.
And no, I'm not going to discuss and defend those figures now and here. And yes, we are of course aware of alternatives, and I for example didn't count in the maincam (50.-) to the BOM but had it somewhat summarized under in case,screen,bat,etc
