Would you pay $1000 for one? Economy of scales matters...

Plus everyone who did look at them would say it is smaller it should cost less! Even though a smaller phone would be more technically challenging to build. Next you have compromises. No matter what you take out to make it work. People would bitch, I need that! I don't need this other thing! Next battery life, people complain about current battery life, you think they want less?

I could go on, but I can easily see why manufacturers don't want to deal...
