I think it will be more interesting/telling to see the numbers that Microsoft post after Nokia begins to ship phones with WP7 on them. While WP7 is not a popular choice right now, the Nokia partnership definitely makes it interesting to watch.
I am especially curious to see how Nokia leverages the WP7 platform in countries outside of the US because of Nokia's global market share and marketing.

I'm interested too. Nokia hasn't been able to sell many Maemo phones, I'm not sure how having Windows Phone 7 would really improve that. They seem really good at selling cheap phones, but not smartphones. Maybe with Microsoft's marketing muscle they'll do better.
