Unless you (the potential market for such a device) sober up, there will be no devices for you.

Nevertheless, I am convinced that a profitable market do in fact exist, but all manufacturers are too blinded by market shares and dreams of world domination to notice.

I see that you dabble in varius fields. From a technology/business analyst you jumped in the mass psychology as well. Good job on profiling the 60000 people on TMO.
You were more productive when you were randomly spamming the bada tags.

Most of us here are consumers with wants and needs. As it was said previously in this thread the N900 hit the sweet spot for those needs, people are actually buying spare N900s, i might be ill informed but i haven't noticed that phenomenon with a different device.
Taking in to consideration what has been said, what do you think, how hard would it be to hit that same sweet spot again?
My guess is, not that hard.
