Nokia Lumia 900 costs $ 209, but can be obtained "for free" in the U.S.

the Nokia 900 Lumia has been approved by the FCC and had its rated output value. The IHS, a consultancy that conducts market research, gave his guess for the cost of production of the brand new Windows Phone with 4G connection, relying on the price of labor, the unit  costs U.S. $ 209 for the Finnish manufacturer.

Although the company is reliable, I have my doubts about the veracity of that cost. In the table of expenditures does not include the license for Windows Phone, charged by Microsoft for each device sold.

If all this is true, Nokia is taking a hell of a loss: the recent bug related to the connectivity of the phone, the company is giving $ 100 for those who purchase the Lumia 900 until April 21. The device is sold in a cell phone plan with two years of loyalty, at a cost of $ 99. In the end, Nokia is giving Lumias 900 for consumers.

The idea of ​​Nokia seems retain the consumer. I do not know how she will recover Stephen Fry injury, after all, she does not receive commission on sales of applications, being restricted only to a claim that the manufacturer has with operators. After all, the total value of the unit is paid during the two-year contract, right?

During that month (or quarter, maybe half), our editors and Thiago Mobilon Thássius Veloso recount their experiences to explore the world of Windows Phone Miniblog Opening the windows. Have you seen what they are praising or complaining?
