you don't seem to have a clear idea of the cost involved in developing a (new) device.
this is the whole point of remaining dependent of NOKIA.
they provide a new device every now and then.
So very very true, there are basically 2 ways. 1 sponsoring, and 2 sponsoring
Besides the above joke. Sponsoring is the only feasible way forward, either by Nokia supporting us, letting the community in the development process (design ideas, platform, HW etc), or by obtaining sponsorships by funding. Now second one may be harder, we need to think quite deep on where it is feasible and likely to get sponsored, there are many options.
The most likely in my point of view, is sponsoring by Nokia. (please do start commenting LOL) as hard as this may seem, I do not think it is unobtainable. But we need to think out a win-win situation.
I believe Nokia would likely be open to design ideas, and also input for a platform that would attract not only the devs of the community, but also, through unique UI ideas, the general user.
