My favorite commentary was Microsoft and Nokia announce my dream partnership so why aren't you all happy? because while everything else published everywhere else and posted here has been either gloom and doom or ultra-heavy speculative analysis. this calmly listed all the strengths and advantages of Nokia phone hardware and explained all the strengths and advantages of WP7 software (which I wasn't familiar with before).

I know that I get at least one phone call per day either from some friend or a colleague asking me for an opinion or a recommendation on a device they (or some of their friends/family/colleagues) need/want to purchase. Just last night Nokia lost one C7 sell as I've advised my best friend not to be hasty and wait to see how all of this will unfold - at best, he'll eventually get it for a considerably lower price as it will be considered a DOA device, at worst he will get something from Samsung or HTC. And the true irony is that it was me actually convincing him to wait for S^3 devices to hit the shelves before making a purchase, explaining him the advantages of possibly having an upgradeable OS and the awesome promise of Qt - he's been bragging about needing a new phone since last September.
I really cannot recommend buying any Nokia device atm. except the N900, but I'd recommend that only to those that truly need it. And while I'm just one person and Nokia might lose ten-or-something sales from me not recommending their devices, which might not matter at all in the grand scheme, I'd take there are significant number of 'techieheads' that will be doing the same. The way it is, atm., Nokia's plan on pushing another 150M Symbian devices in the following years is, IMO, the truest form of wishful thinking. And WP7 is even in worse shape, I really couldn't recommend that to anyone.
edit:
Forgot about the 'less-technical forums' part, I do not condone conspiracy theories, but if you take a look at Engadget's post on Nokia WP7 concept device - most of the comments, especially the high-praising ones, are coming from people that have posted only a single comment on a Disqus system - that one highfiving the decission. It awfully smells like guerrilla/viral marketing if you ask me
