OP, you seem deeply entrenched in the 'Google' world.
My recommendation for anyone, especially those coming from Google, is to buy a low end WP, L520 for example, and see what you think. If everything you do is solely based on the apps you use then you will be disappointed by WP. WP is different. It works different, it's used differently. It's nothing like an Android or iPhone. A lot of users who come from Android and Symbian are not overly happy with WP.
You need to experience WP for yourself and see if it works for you. Going by apps alone is no way to determine if WP is right for you.
There will never be a file explorer similar to the one on Android, if one does comes it will be severely limited due to MS thoughts on security.
Last thing to keep in mind. Regardless of WP7, WP8 is a new OS (a year old). I expect WP8.1 to be a major shift when it comes out. So WP8 has some teething problems.
