You should have a chance soon to donate to the nonprofit Hildon Foundation.We are currently in talks to get the software tools (including a redistribution license for the proprietary parts) transferred to us.

@ N900: Battery low. N950: torx 4 re-used once and fine; SIM port torn apart

It will not be much of a problem, though. Create N900's clone which is waterproof, shockproof, dust-proof, and has inductive charging, and you will have at least some of the customers hooked. Manufacturing N900 exactly as it was would have likely been profitable; manufacturing N900 with improvements will be profitable for those who attempt it.
Just don't expect me to backup these claims with my own life. However much I believe them, my perception of space, time and world in general has been known to differ from reality.
Best wishes.

Nowadays, with Nokia so in the gutter, it looks like a more sober proposition.
