 Here's an interesting tidbit for those of you who can't devour enough Nexus One details. According to research firm iSuppli, Google's new smartphone consists of $174.15 worth of parts. This includes both inner (designed by Google) and outer (designed by HTC) components. By comparison, would-be Nexus One owners are being asked to shell out $179 for the smartphone super phone when accompanied by a two-year T-Mobile service agreement, or $529 for the standalone phone. Not included in any of the price quotes? Manufacturing, packaging, software, and other related costs. "Items like the durable unibody construction, the blazingly fast Snapdragon baseband processor, and the bright and sharp Active-Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) display all have been seen in previous phones, but never before combined into a single design," Kevin Keller, senior analyst for iSuppli, said in a statement. As for the most expensive part of the Nexus One, that distinction belongs to the Snapdragon processor, which runs $30.50, or about 20 percent of the total cost. In second place is the 512MB of DDR memory ($20.40), followed by the Bluetooth/WLAN hardware ($8.20).
