For example, they store the message database on the shared mass storage partition (a.k.a. SD card), where it can be read by all installed applications.

That shouldn't happen in a properly sandboxed OS.

Wasn't it also true that the password for every account was a simple function of the phone number? Then they changed it, only to base in the IMEI instead.

I didn't look at it again so I don't know if they fixed it for real in the end.
