Wow, that's 1/3 of jolla price...
That price is for China, wondering what price it would get in EU and NA.

That is nonsense.
Even I am pissed by the behaviour of Jolla, I need to admit that a company of that size cannot compete with that.
And especially if you like to get it running an OS of your choice. If you like a cheap Android (free of charge OS) then go for it ...

Im not pissed at all. I dont expect jolla do get a price like that from jolla. They can't affored it. But it's intressting what total cost is for jollas hw. It can't be much.

Don't underestimate the huge economies of scale that the Chinese companies are operating with. And not just on parts - on labour too.

When you buy Jolla, you're not just buying the hardware, you're also subsidising Sailfish OS development costs, salaries for staff (which in Finland are higher to begin with), rent for the HQ and everything in between. When more devices are sold, this part (as a share of the cost price) can be significantly lowered.

Whilst all that ^^ is true, it is a fallacy to assume that:
Sale price = Production cost + Profit
In fact, it is the reverse:
Profit = Sale price - Production cost
This is because the producer does not dictate the sale price. The only part of the equasion that the producer can influence is the production cost. The sale price is dictated by what the market can bear. As we could see from the India launch, Jolla is quite capable of dropping the price to accommodate the market. They just had not feelt that pressure in Europe for a while.

Until the launch of the tablet, at least. If they had another one before then, the 'bundle' that many backers chose to purchase would work out more expensive than buying separately. Jolla can't afford to annoy their newest fans.

Never say never. The tablet launch is at least 5 months away. A lot can happen in that time. For example the whole cycle as described here can easily repeat twice in the span of 5 months.

I wonder how many of the tablet supporters are new customers. I am willing to bet 30 Altarian dollars that not more than 50%. My estimate is <20%.
