At least to me the talk was a but confusing from Nokia's direction if they are going to customize it or not.
Customize as in to make Nokia WP7 devices incompatible with other WP7 devices, or as in to make WP7 apps run only on one of them, but not both - well that would be of course foolish. Customize as in to make Nokia WP7 devices "better" than plain ones; I certainly hope so.

The things that HTC and others are doing to Android are very interesting reference cases... How far can you customize without then breaking compatibility and fragmenting the platform.
