Openmoko is a usable phone (if you're geek), graphics speed is not
related to usability (but to eye-candy) as far as I know : most of us
used slower computers in the past, but still we had graphical and usable
interface.
Designing hardware is not designing software. This lack of graphical
bandwidth is a failure, but a failure does not mean Openmoko is an evil
company that fooled geeks to make lots of $$$.
For trying to free the phone we should support them, not blame them
because of this problem.
I call 'fud' upon your words.
