Linux phones need money. You're not going to get away with a MVP today any more, the typical customer not only requires basic functionality, but also the ability to run Android apps they are locked into. If you solve slowness by limiting features, only very few hard core fans will buy it. If you want to solve slowness by rewriting, you need loads of cash for great programmers. If you want to solve slowness by throwing hardware at it, you need loads of money to convince big players to even talk to you, give you hardware documentation, and then write all the open drivers.
