N9 has 110J1H0K which is a phantom chip (doesn't exist in real life, only in the local reality created by Nokia inside N9)
TI Zoom2 OMAP36x obviously also has some 1GByte PoP chip, could somebody please find such device and read the label on this chip and tell it to me here?
Or even better, tell me where to buy ~200pcs 1GByte LPDDR PoP-168pin chips
Many thanks in advance!

I noticed the project has been catching some attention in main IT press and one phone call to Micron may shut the doors to 200pcs till babies are born with Android chips inside their brains.
If I am out of line , I apologize, I like open but you know how they play the games.

Who do you think would see such a hobbyist project something worth the trouble to disturb?

indeed, particularly since micron never will sell 200 pcs of any of their chips, we need to get them from farnell, mousser, digikey, alibaba... Good luck with calling all those and convince them to stop selling a particular component to anybody. Sounds like trying to stop Sebastian Vettel by convincing $big_oil not to sell any more gasoline to him.

Alu case will ruin all antenna tuning. I also wonder how it's related to Neo900. (aka "OT")
A bit of warning - the two strange, detachable, bits of plastic in the back cover (under the battery cover, i.e. hidden from normal view) with the mounting screws going through them are actually the GSM and WiFi/Bluetooth antennae, respectively. That is to say, they have some circuitry inside them. The housing that I purchased had those bits, except they were just plain bits of plastic of exactly the same shape, with the result that the phone did not work unless I used those bits from the original housing.
So I think it's worth emphasizing due care when choosing any aftermarket cases. Sorry if I am stating the obvious, better safe than sorry.

Who would disturb this project?
In fact I think they already have way in advance.
The supplier of the chips in the first place would disturb the project, based on agreements with his current big customers that demand exclusive prices for higher volumes.
I am certain they could support such a project with almost free overstock of chips but I guess they won't for commercial reasons.
2nd in line the companies that have destroyed the N900 development in 2010.
NSA?
If some key people would have been more paranoid we might have been using an N900x with 2GB RAM today.

Thanks, we are aware of the antennae and of the many many fakes you can buy at aftermarket. That's why we need to start early with ordering samples and evaluating them, and that's why we need a good idea of the number of cases (and other critical parts) we need to source. In the end it will be this stuff that might not allow us to serve any orders that came in 'late', i.e. without a "preorder" in form of a 100+ donation. It might take several months to source the additional critical parts for additional orders we didn't calculate with.
