So of course we need much more than 200 preorders to drop down prices at decent level (like 100-200E for board only and 300-350E for a full phone), but not certainly numbers with 5 or 6 zeros.

If you're going to quote me ..get it right. I didn't say Nokia...I said MS, Iphone , and Android.
But while on the topic...a corp can manage devel, publicity etc much more affordably and take losses in one area while benefiting in another.

And as far as much more than 200 preorders go.. and your estimate at getting a full phone for 300-350 EU....get a grip...look again at Dos1 post #5 since we would need most certainly 100 000 people = 6 DIGITS ...for the 300EU you want the phone for...
