I think my expectations were off on this one. I thought of it more as a stand alone device, and it appears that BlackBerry instead is thinking of it as a companion for people who have a blackberry and service. Looking at it that way, I can see where it has a place, though I believe they are totally missing the boat on the stand alone market.
It's not a matter or removal it's a matter of being so locked down that one cannot add apps. I can't even add Google Maps to my regular Blackberry without special permission from the Ivory Tower.
