I'm not an xbox person. For those like me who don't understand the value of this feature can someone who does use Xbox Live explain to me what they would do with access to Xbox Live on their phone? Would it be mainly for checking achievements, messaging friends, and seeing who's playing what?

In additiona to that, I assume there will eventually be WinPho7 games that you can play, alone or w/ other Xbox live folks. Xbox live has other goodies too, such as video content that may make it through here. They may even expose the on demand programming/media Xbox live offers.
