I once tried a 6210 (i think it was) made from metal, and it was horribly nice to the touch!! The costs were apparently astronomical, but that was of course also due to the fact that it was a prototype (don't even think the cover was from nokia)
But i am very sure that the manufactoring costs of N9 is quite a bit higher than most of the droids (only talking "shell" here, not the electrical parts)
to make the screen curve in 3 dimensions is quite a crappy task, as well as making a unibody, compared to a flat screen and just make the darn think hold together using stickers *cough* SE *cough*
IMO nokia has always been in front when it comes to design and durability (sonim doen's count
), and thats the main reason i was never quite as fond of samsing d600 as my 7210.Wether it's the right way to go is up to us, i guess.. Some like to change their phone every six-ten months, and they dont need a phone that can last for three years. i personally think it's crappy when they begin to fall apart after two years.
You may call me insane, but at the end of the day i'd rather have mediocre (IMO sufficient) hardware inside and outstanding hardware outside, than the opposite. If its fluent and swift, then screw the benchmarks, it's still more capable than any droid (minus the fart-apps, haven't tried one that hadn't at least one of those installed)!!
just my .02...

http://androidandme.com/2011/09/news...metal-chassis/
NEXUS PRIME (aka Samsung I9250, possibly the Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
4.65-inch SuperAMOLED screen
1280 x 720 pixel resolution
8.8 millimeters thick
metal chassis
running Android's Ice Cream Sandwich
arrives in the US by the end of October... supposedly just after the iPhone 5 launch
The relevant portion here... let's see how much this will cost, compared to the N9.

Everyone knows it's not going to be cheap. Remember how Nokia said they are going to spend mountains on Nokia WP ads when it's there?
I was wondering how they could cough up that kinda dough. *grunt* n9 *grunt*

the only complaint is a screen of 4.65 inches. if it has a bezel which is 1mm thick i'll manage, otherwise people will think me a pervert with that thing in my pocket :P

Also, I walk about with a 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab in my pocket all the time. So far, I've never had anyone say they even noticed it. Actually had several Verizon guys try to walk up to me to sell me on tablets whenever I peruse them and then have to show them that I'm already carrying one and listening to my podcasts (since I'm usually wearing my Motorola S305 bluetooth stereo headphones while I walk about the shops).
I'll bet it won't be cheap either, though, but I get the sense it'll still be cheaper (and far better specced.. coming out in a couple of months, possibly) than the N9. It's an incredible shame that Nokia concentrated so hard to lock it down with closed-source and TC/DRM, instead of investing those resources toward getting far more MeeGo compatible open-friendly and competitive components to at least be able to claim to be better than Android or anyone else's offerings.
