Don't get me wrong, Street View is incredibly useful - I used it just an hour ago to pinpoint my destination - but it feels gimmicky to look at a picture of what's in front of me already.
I don't know because as I said my current phone doesn't have street view anyway (I agree, must be a WM Pro feature), but I could see it being useful. Sometimes when I'm walking somewhere (near Boston, so that happens often) and I don't know where I'm going, I use Sprint Nav or Google Maps to figure out how to get there.
The issue often is that I don't know which way to initially turn sometimes to leave wherever I'm going from. Until you're a little ways along, GPS tends to be a little spotty at walking speeds with figuring out which direction you're headed. I could see the compass Street View being incredibly useful in those situations.
