You don't need a phone for a masses: Sure. And i don't want You to need. But the Community needs to understand, that if You want a platform to prosper - it needs to be available (in every meaning of this word) for masses, and not just for few geeks. Don't You understand, that even I, who insulted You, am a part of this fraction? And i'm proud of it! The problem is. that my, Your and any others pride cannot be sold for dollars.
I'm not sure I totally agree with you there, if everyone runs after the same big bucks, everyone profits only a little.
But If you cater for a market that everyone else ignores, you earn the big bucks.
There's no reason every product a company makes has to be headline stuff.
What If instead of releasing 50 new phones every year that are all basically the same, some of them had small dedicated teams to serve different niche markets?
The "geek" niche market definitely has other potential, it works as marketing, to raise the quality of future employees, and it brings new technology to the company.
