So you think engineer working with core OS/optimizing etc... is doing this for free?

As already said. there is plenty of reason N9 maybe has higher prices than for example samsung. You can't just compare components and saying XXX or YYY is lo/higherprice.

Biggest reason is probadly engineering work and factory costs. AFAIK most of the phones made by Nokia is done in it own factorys. And not licenced like many of the ANdroid phones. Just one of many reason.

N9 MAY be overpriced BUT we cant just compare it this way.
