Despite this thread, I think there ARE a few things which really are needed on the phone. But they're more tweak/hack sort of stuff rather than complete revamp (such as SBSH or SPB). In no particular order:

1. six-sided cube with cube configurator. Absolutely essential and makes the cube a real app launcher.
2. Calender Plus and Tasks plus. Gives you just enough control over the today plugins to make them useful. But no so much that it clutters things up.
3. Resco File explorer/registry. This is probably the weakest part of the phone. The built-in file explorer is pretty lame, and registry editing is kinda important (and there's no way MS should EVER ship one stock-- too much potential for harm).

That's it. I had an Apache that I installed all kinds of garbage on. Now, when I look at it I wonder why? I think the real rason is the emphasis on finger navigation. It's really no fun trying to hit one of those small little SPB tabs with your fingernail. But a big giant icon on a cube? No problem.
