Hi prsssupe,
we're open to any suggestions you may have in this regards, for anything that you think Nokia can offer to complement the existing resources provided by Microsoft. Don't be shy, make requests and we'll take them under considerations.
Would it help for example to have existing code samples from Symbian/Qt re-created as Windows Phone projects?

We are working on a number of contents such as tutorials and getting started guides, also comparing to other technologies and programming languages. You will see more content appearing on Forum Nokia in the next few weeks.
You can also start contributing yourself to our wiki where we already created a Windows Phone category.
Yes it will be great help to Have examples converted for windows 7 format ,along with that varoius documentations and wiki articles will help in creating deveopers intrest in developing applications for windows phone. Making a SDK available or adding some windows os based devices in RDA will allow developers to get headstart for developing apps for windows nokia phones.
Meanwhile you can explore resources from Microsoft. In this Forum Nokia Wiki article; About Windows Phone, you would find a link to Windows Phone 7 Development for Absolute Beginners Video channel under E-learning section, which I think is a nice way to getting started on Windows Phone development.
