The schematics are freely available, though we will have to apply changes to adopt N900 particularities, luckily N900 schematics also 'leaked'. In the end Neo900 will have its own schematics anyway. The PCB layout doesn't apply to Neo900, this has to get redone completely (except some footprints). Particular suppliers GDC used in the past are GDC proprietary knowledge obviously - though this changes rapidly and best suppliers need to get evaluated each time anew. DigiKey, mouser, Farnell, arrow etc are common knowledge, finding special parts is tricky no matter how many suppliers you know.
So short bottom line answer: no, it doesn't mean that.
