They have lost focus - again. The focus should solely be to make WP competitive, and this should be done by flooding the market with cheap Lumias, not premium priced Lumias.
wp7 handsets have always been dirt cheap, even before the android dual core onslaught. Nice wp7 hardware existed before (omnia 7).

IMO WP is hell of a lot more suited for the general public than anything Nokia has managed to produce.
i wonder why people don't buy it then. I am not saying wp7 is a bad OS, but as the average guy who goes to the store I wouldn't buy a wp7 handset because its so different from what people are used to. Where's the app grid? Whats with all the huge fonts? Where are the homescreens? Widgets? No tabs? Side scrolling instead of drill-down etc..

Even Meego feels more familiar. In addition wp7 is not for the hardcore users out there, it doesn't display enough information (see arstechnica critique), and the multitasking is just too bad for that. Apart from the missing apps of course.

That said, I'm sure those who actually buy it are perfectly satisfied.
