AFAIK even the bootloader should be open.

And for the $600 ... consider yourself lucky. Where I live it costs 650€, which is more like $1000 nowadays.

Bear in mind that there's very little interesting code in the bootloader. While nolo during Nokia 770 and N8x0 times was quite bloated and contained a great deal of setup code, this has almost entirely been repatriated to the kernel for the N900.
