You'll pick it up easily after using any other smart phone. Make sure you take advantage of SkyDrive - it's seamless storage for your phone that doesn't take up actual phone storage space. You can copy an mp3 to your SkyDrive and play it instantly on your phone for instance.
If you have kids, set up the Kid Zone feature. You select certain apps they can run and that's all they can run. You get into Kid Zone at the lock screen by scrolling to the left. Once there, they can't access your email, Facebook, phone features or anything else without typing a password.
The Nokia Here Drive app is great. Shows you how fast you're going as well as the current speed limit on the road you're on. Supports overlays so you can put things like restaurants or gas stations (very helpful) on your map while you're doing turn-by-turn directions.
Call blocking is fantastic. Get a call from some telemarketer? Hit a button and they can never call or text you again. You can block up to 1,000 numbers.
If you don't use it now, look into OneNote. It works on all your devices including a Windows Phone.
You'll like it if you have a lot of email accounts. You can set group email accounts into multi-account inboxes. This is different than iPhone that has "All inboxes" or single inboxes. With mine, I can group 4 accounts into one inbox, 3 accounts into another, 1 into its own, etc.
Other than that, all the big apps are there - Facebook, Twitter, GasBuddy, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Skype, Spotify, WhatsApp, etc, etc. The app store being empty is old news at this point. The biggest remaining gaps are smaller banks that don't have native apps but that gap is closing as well.
