I'd certainly go with the latter (or however it needs to be sliced, grouping discussions at the highest level considered necessary) and if we're starting from scratch, what is the objection?

My experience here is end-users will look for support for their specific device. They won't care about the different UX's because honestly, majority won't know what UX they have nor what it is called.

I've been running a Palm OS enthusiast site for 9 years already it has become clear the end-users like to see a forum for their specific device rather than say a Palm OS version forum that encompasses like 10 different devices of different brands/models. Members with the same device are more united and helpful to each other, plus they can always use search whenever they are looking for something they can't find in their device's forum.

Each device will probably have something unique (form factor, maybe a new camera, a different GPS, an FM radio, etc.). A forum for each device from my experience, works, from the end-user perspective.

As for apps, that's a different matter.
