This has been tried a few times now. Why will this one succeed?

It bugs me how, within a month after Apple releases a new iPhone, small-time manufacturers put together the hardware, custom ROMs, and tooling to pump out bespoke knock-offs of the latest model. Which sell for maybe $200. While we're stuck worrying that the development of a new Linux phone, with completely ordinary hardware by today's standards, might get mismanaged to hell or ends up costing a fortune.
