THe option to make an iPhone truely yours is there. Given not right out of the box (only thing you can set is the wallpaper for the lock screen). Jailbreak the phone and you can make your own themes or download others and such.

Yes other devices you don't have to "hack" the phone for that, but honestly how many people here tinker around with non-stock ROMs? Earlier versions of Mobile Shell was a matter of actually replacing the standand files (not sure about theme setting on the most current version of Mobile Shell).....
As a previous PPC phone user and now an iPhone user, once I jailbreak the iPhone once, I don't need to do it again unless I want to update to the newest firmware. Custom ROMs on a PPC, everytime you wanted to try a new one you were hard resetting the phone.

So the difficulty level of customizing bother phone are pretty much the same.

I am not knocking either type of phone, I love them both. And I said before they both have their pros and cons that make them great phone and fucntions and abilities that it's like "I wish I could do this with my phone"......
