For me most of the dreams became true now. I have open phone which is fast and 
stable for daily use - and it's quite nice experience.

I can now boot between SHR, QtMoko and Android. Btw Android is running on 
Neil's 3.3 kernel without any additional patches - this is really nice.

QtMoko is really fast on GTA04 - even when running on ARM v4 it's much faster 
then e.g. N900. I am looking for how it will work on armhf.

I'd like to have better case and better battery life in suspend.

Please no - GTA04 is the best, i wish more people would realize this.
