Ever wondered how much that N9 design actually cost?

Next to nothing I suppose. One of the reasons Nokia was so successiful on the mobile sector was that the production machinery was very well geared to produce acceptable-quality devices unbelievably cheap. The BOM cost of a N9 was pretty sure something on the order of 30 euros max.
