why openmoko is so slow? Is it a joke?

Why don't you simply sell your FR and enjoy your M800 stopping whining 
and spamming this list? I (we?) believe in Openmoko "the project", I 
have a "usable" phone since last September, don't searching at the last 
software update but simply customizing my own distro with my favorite 
programs and, thanks to the great support of Golden Delicious, even 
buzz-freeing my phone which now is perfectly working in every single 
part. I don't care too much of display speed, but for sure when a new 
"glamoectomied" device will be out, I'll be one of the first buyers 
because after a free (first mandatory option) and customizable (the 
choice for me) phone I'd like a more eye-candy device (not mandatory but 
desirable).
It's not a matter of joking but believing in something no other company 
tried in the past.
Bye!
