I don't think you need to convince anyone around here of that except a few whose intellectual contribution is equivalent to...oh well, i couldn't think of a funny metaphor...nevermind, nothing to see here.

Just had a look at sales numbers at digitec.ch. Sales for the N9 64GB model are higher than those of any wp7 phone. The HTC Titan is close behind though. Good luck nokia with competing with samsung and htc for wp7 sales.

Between 2010 Q2 and 2011 Q2 Microsoft's marketshare in sales of new smartphones went from 4,9% to 1,6%. (According to Gartner)
That's a drop to one third during the period of Windows Mobile to WP7 transition. Pretty catastropic considering how bad WM was and how WP7 was supposed to save MS. Of course, there are few people who think that sticking a Nokia logo on WP7 phone is somehow going to turn water into wine.

WP7 is a really good OS ... for the technologically challenged.
I still think iOS is the most intuitive and polished.
Android has the most features.
Whereas Maemo/MeeGo is the most powerful (software potential).
I want to see the Android kernel with support for C++ and Qt on some high end device (Nexus Prime?) and with a better user interface like WebOS or MIUI.

Take a look for yourself
If you read carefully, 0,27% = Windows Mobile.
And Windows Mobile =! Windows Phone
So, I think the Windows Phone belongs in the "Other" section. (Which mean's it's even lower then those 0,25%
)Edit:
Ugh, I should have scrolled down a bit more to see that WP7 is indeed 0,25%

Microsoft just had debut Mango, a "major" update and it was pushed aside by the other mobile news. And I own a WP7 device, but I can honestly say that my attention has been pulled in different directions than just WP7.
They're having a hard time selling WP7 to anybody. I fear that Nokia signed on to become a minority player on an OS that does not sell anywhere in decent numbers.
Only Bada has a lesser share - well, perhaps Maemo.

The demise of Nokia will probably be a future MBA case study. First thesis will be titled 'Nokia: From Burning Platform To Sinking Ship'.
