You can't customize this layout

Yeah, but I bought the phone knowing the layout. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't right for me, so not being able to customize it later isn't a problem.

Physically no, but you could use something like Pastiera to remap them in software.

Sounds like a shitty workaround TBH having the symbols on the KB completely mismatched with their functionality or letter.

Matching would definitely be preferred, but given the fact that it's a first attempt at a product with a small form factor making swapping difficult, I see the mismatched symbols as a small concession to the overall experience.
