Earlier this year my boss was having trouble with his old Android phone (the battery was going) and it was cheaper to get another phone. He bought a used WM7 phone off Craigslist, and he really liked it.
In the end, he sold it and bought another Android phone, because the camera on the particular model he bought was complete junk. He said if it wasn't for that he would have stayed with WM7.
Everything I've read indicates it's a very nice OS. MS knows what they're doing so they've done a good job of making sure there are apps in the app store (where WebOS really stumbled).
I hope it stays around, it seems like a nice piece of competition (interface-wise) for Android and iOS. But it was so late to the game I think it's going to have a very hard time ever getting out of third.
One big reason Android is it's easier to modify such as rooting it, Apple can be jailbroken but I'm not sure about Windows phone.
People have suggested I try Big Launcher, Launcher 7, Simple Home which I may try to see if my dad likes one of them. Most of those pretty much make it look like a Windows phone.
