You're right, WP7 is really a dead-end such that only Nokia would appreciate it.

Microsoft has solid plan to release Windows 8 (not WP8) on ARM next year and applications natively run on Windows 8/ARM would not compatible with WP7's.

Though Microsoft didn't say Windows platform on ARM is meant to replaced Windows Phone platform, but the collision in market segment is so obvious. Given same hardware, say I would want to use the platform that can run full version of Microsoft Office rather than cripple Office like Document to Go, etc.

Too bad Microsoft proactive obsolete WP7 way before Nokia could make a phone with it. So much for a partnership.
