I believe this might be a bit unrealistic, and maybe a bit expensive for the company but oh well... The first thing I would do is arrange a 'dream phone' competition and arrange it in schools/colleges (Kids are pretty creative). Taking those designs into account and checking them I'd see the best ones. I would ask google to make their app suite (google maps/ youtube/ google chrome etc.)...

You'd have to convince a lot of people at Microsoft to keep pumping resources into this mobile platform that can't seem to gain any mainstream attention.
