I've been following the Openmoko mailing list. While the hardware doesn't LOOK shiny/sexy like the iPhone, they're packing in lots of stuff, especially in the october release (as you mentioned), which will have the wifi that the people on the list have been clamoring for. The devs on the list are pretty wary of making a good UI since that'll make or break the device as well. I expect some fairly pretty apps to be on the device. They get new ideas they bounce around too. The latest was someone talking about making ripple effects on the screen when you touch it, as feedback and a coolness factor.
