The iPhone 3GS has a bill of materials totalling $175. Work it out.

OK, call me stupid, but... how is that $175 BOM going to result in a sub-$100 phone that has "pretty much" identical functionality ? Not to mention that the N900's HW costs a bit more than 3GS.

But why do you equate low-price with "crapy hardware" - because you've become so accustomed to being ripped of at the high end?
It's because I've never seen a Yugo I wanted to buy (yes, we make those here), even if someone put AC, leather seats and a nice air freshener in it.
