It's not selling, simple as that. It's not due to lack of a sales force, or some misplaced idea by retailers that these are business phones. It's because it's difficult to gain traction in an overcrowded market (that already has a variety of excellent devices) without offering some innovative and/or standout features.
The Metro UI, though very pretty, frankly doesn't offer any significant benefits for most people.
And this phone is too heavy.
However, I have good news for Microsoft fans: last week I saw a WP7 device in the wild for the first time. And the upcoming N800 has the potential to do well with its clean iPod nano-esque design (though it's not very ergonomic... I sure wouldn't buy it).
Personally, I await the Galaxy Nexus.
