Guys, what do you think about gamepad?
We can make it double-slider, like n95.
You slide it to one side - you got a qwerty keyboard,
Slide to an opposite side and you got a game pad like Xperia Play.

I'm too lazy to find the URL to point you to my suggestion on ML, about Goldelico ("Openmoko") GTA04, slightly modified to match N900 so much that we could use original screen (LCD+digitizer), original housing and keymat, and almost original fremantle.
Honestly why re-re-re-invent the wheel? There are free open documented hw designs out there already, the problem is manpower to do such development, particularly on OS level (and obviously apps). Alien-dalvik (android compatibility layer)? Where? Who?
Multitouch? HAHA, suuuure. Since all maemo devices and their GUI design have multitouch support since ~6 yearsˇ You for sure know that a (limited) MT-functionality can get implemented on current N900 as well - just go ahead and do it! Or find somebody else willing to do it.
Honestly I'd already appreciate when somebody would start resp resume on manufacturing 100% "original" N900 again. Changing to a larger RAM, or faster CPU is really the least problem (if you still can source the chips).
Don't get fooled by delusions about the amount of effort needed to develop and manufacture a complete smartphone incl 100% feature complete and reliable production grade software.

Tried CSSU-Thumb or reflashing to clear out the device?

This is really "dream" thread..
But why not.
My PERFECT N900:
The GTA04-to-N900-case project is interesting, but i cant find anything about it. Can someone post some links?
N900 is dead. But we CAN make N900 like device (in colaboration with projects like openmoko etc.)
So: yes, this thread is about nothing, but if we want to save Maemo, we need threads similar to this one
But why not.
My PERFECT N900:
- Better battery
- Better HW (1GHz dual-core is good enough)
- Android compatibility (Alien dalvik?)
- Multitouch
- Maybe bigger screen (just like Jolla phone)
- Maemo OS (offcourse)
- "Normal" USB (can be done with some simple mods)
- NFC (i dont need it but it is future probably)
- STRONGER USB (yes, mine is broken)
- etc.

'Kick-starter' is not all fun and success. You really need to know what you're doing to leverage kickstarter properly and deliver on the promise.
Look at this project which has been failing miserably for nearly a year to deliver on their promise, and it's only for an iPhone case:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...one-protection
Imagine how much more complex a phone would be. More components, more dimension and functionalities, compliance to comm standards, etc.
