The advertising is pretty much non-existent. I recall seeing a commercial for the Focus Flash a few times and a few of the "Really" commercials where they were poking fun of BB users (where the guy drops his BB in a urinal and immediately reaches in to get it), but that is it. I wouldn't even know WP7 existed if I wasn't a gadget geek. I think a lot of the general public doesn't know WP exists.
Example, I was at my sister's yesterday and she saw my new phone and asked what it was. When I told her it was a Windows phone her exact words were "I didn't know Windows had a phone."
