HTC Touch? That was a Windows Mobile phone (I liked my experience with the WM Treo Pro, but the OS definitely isn't going to fly easily with many people today), if it wasn't for the Windows branding Mobile and Phone share, I wouldn't be able to guess the two were related.
Seriously. Who the heck did they *make* that for? it's like a sick joke. Infact, i went into a store today to look at phones, as i was walking out i thought, ya know what, let me open my mind and go look at that (a windows phone). Picked it up, looked at it and put it right back where i found it.
For anyone I guess, I like the Metro UI IMHO. Minimalistic and looks unique. (I got my sister a Lumia 521, and she said the typography is nice) If anything looks like a toy, I feel that'd be iOS and arguably Android with their colorful cartoony icons. (varies for 'droid though of course) Sorry to hear its not to your liking, to each their own I guess.
My opinions in bold above yet again. 
In WP, holding the back button brings you to a sort of card switcher. 8 cards maximum (I could be wrong.) You can scroll back and forth and switch stuff but you cannot close them directly at this time. (To close apps, you have to *back-button* your way out of an app until you reach another app or the start screen.) Sounds cumbersome, but apparently WP is designed so that the user doesn't have to bother like iOS.
In a developmental build of Windows Phone Blue (8.1) found on a Lumia 920, close buttons were seen on the cards, but its not a feature as of my post today.
