Unfortunately for WP7, I have the same experience here in Canada. Walk into a carrier store and you'll find maybe one WP7 phone NOT prominently displayed. And the staff are clueless. Ask them about the iPhone or the latest Android and they are all over you.
The same is true of the Future Shops/Best Buys/Walmarts/etc. of the world. They are ALL OVER the latest iPhone or Android phone -- happily describing and displaying all the great features and talking about how powerful the processor is, and how it's got the latest O/S, etc. etc.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, WP7 has been relegated (by the media and the masses) to a 'special, technical geek' status -- even lower than Windows Mobile. And part of the problem, I believe is we don't see ANY volume of new phones coming out with WP7.
Every week, I hear about the latest and greatest Android-based offering, or the 'rumours' of a new iOS release or a new iPhone.
If Microsoft wants to make ANY impact on the phone market with WP7, it's going to have to kick the manufacturers (listening HTC?) into high gear and get some PHONES out there!
