Android is suppose to be open source which mean its free. For each unit shipped, the manufacturer don't have to pay Google anything. why in the world Android phone are still so expensive?

At the openhandsetalliance page, it says "... offer consumers a richer, less expensive, and better mobile experience". i wonder where did that less expensive part goes?
