I've read that this is a good platform, but apparently there aren't enough compelling features to really bring in new customers. So while Android and iOS have gained market share, Microsoft has actually LOST market share since the WP7 came out. Within the first month or two of the release, I saw WP7's advertised on "buy 1, get 1 free" deals. That's usually a bad sign, but at least it won some design awards. Maybe the Nokia deal will help them.
