The Lumia 700 is to slow to run WP7 properly, so features has been disabled and it's even worse on Lumia 600, the upcoming Lumia 500 will not be much better than the 600 or 700 series, so it will have features disabled and of course it will run WP7 as Elop thinks there is a super market for old generation operating systems with less features than Symbian S40.
The sales of WP devices is devastatingly low, it's not enough you die-hard micrsoft fanboys buy it, the market share is falling daily after the small peak at 3% (It may include the Lumia 801 sold in China which runs on Symbian, as the WP was unsellable in China).
