Teardown has shown that Nokia Lumia 900 building cost are $209

After one week of the first teardown, iSuppli estimated that it costs Nokia about $209 to build the Nokia Lumia 900

The cost, as assembly of a good standard, is not high. The hardware standards imposed by Microsoft for Windows Phone enables you to save on the cost of some components: ignoring the fact that 512Mb of RAM now have a relatively low price, even the single-core processor Qualcom saves several dollars. For example, while Nokia pays Qualcomm $ 17 processor, Samsung's dual-core Galaxy S2 pays $ 22.

It is also interesting the difference in price between the iPhone 4S and Nokia Lumia 900. Apple has a terminal cost of production is somewhere between $ 188 and $ 245, but in the U.S. without a contract has a retail price of $ 649, about $ 200 more than $ 450 imposed by Nokia for Lumia 900.
