They need to identify their core audience and think of what makes their customers happy. This way they'll continue the word of mouth marketing, and will be repeat customers when the time comes.
You've hit the nail on the head. Don't be a follower. Be a leader.

Some improvements in the firmware would be larger rootfs, three button system restore from EPROM which would hold the most recent firmware update, full portrait mode, built-in hot spot ability supported by native application, full support of Bluetooth file transfer and native SU-8W support, native post theft tracking application as part of the Ovi services

The N8 is a starting point for discussion because it is real. Add to it multi-boot, 1GB of RAM, real RAM, not swap drive stuff, the better keyboard mentioned elsewhere in this thread, a bit more thinness, faster, possibly multithreaded processor,
Software improvements would include full PC Suite support to include root access through the phone browser, Java support so we can play all the games, (Angry Birds is fun but it can get old), solar power panel on the battery cover (this isn't a joke as this could be an easy way to extend battery times, when the unit isn't being used park it under a lamp or in the the light), A docking port so you could hook up a PC keyboard and monitor and use this, gee whiz, just like a computer!

This is what comes to mind immediately. How big the screen? I don't know. This is the largest screen handheld I've ever used and I'm not sure how much more my pocket can stand.
