$2.33 plexiglass stand (shipped worldwide)
 

I just found this product on DealExtreme, $2.33 each for 1 or 2, $1.81 each for 3 or 4 (though IIRC bulk prices require a little money for they are shipped in tracked package)

It may be a bit narrow, but buying 2 to rest the N900/N8x0 on won't break the bank.
I think that's the cheap stand I was waiting for, all my attempts at DIY credit card stands failed.

yep, that's a better stand on every point but the price.
And I'm cheap, and not alone, so I share for all other cheap dudes.
