Yes. When I was finally able to articulate what the problem with computing in general is, it was "I like tools better than applications." And everything is an application.
As far as I can see, all that's different about this phone is that it's using "sub-menus in the Start menu" where other stuff is using "icons on the desktop". PDAs already had this, I think.
Addendum: Redd about Scopes a bit, it's more than just a different way of invoking the same apps. A Scope is a frontend to components of apparently any kind.
