Ultimately, if they had a real keyboard and a better network, it would be better for this users' experience.

I agree on the keeping it simple part though. No need to make everything customizable when you have people that can make things more beautiful than you can. Sure, you can customize your version of van Gogh's Irises, but why bother? :-)

Customizing isn't just about beauty. It's about getting and organizing and using your phone's features in a way that make sense to you personally.

Would you buy a computer that couldn't be customized?

For some kinds of customizability, certainly, yes. Why not?

Yes. I own an XBox 360.
