Rumors are that it's coming, initially as a Nokia exclusive. Story started after an ad for a 620 was spotted with an Instagram tile.

Never caught on to why people use Instagram...it makes all your photos look like sh!t.

Instagram is Ok, it's kind of annoying to use though (when it tries to force everything to the social aspect of the site). At least for iOS I like Snapseed a lot more, it makes great use of the touch interface. The people I know who really use it like the social media side of it.
On my Windows Phone I use an HTC app called "Photo Enhancer" which is a bare bones filter program (no settings to tweak with). I have another one on there called "Lomogram" that I also like that has the filters plus overlays to create sun beam effects, stuff like that. It's actually pretty cool.

I don't think it's about photo quality as much as its utility in quickly satisfying your inclinations in being an attention *.

It appeals to a certain demographic, just as do all social-media services. Teens in particular seem to love it, and so it's a big deal if MS (and Nokia) wants to sell phones into that market.

It's more than a photography app, it's a social network. Like Flickr, but for people who are less pretentious.
As for the quality, think of your average awful cellphone photo, pretty awful, no? Now add vignetting or some of the other stock filters, and suddenly it looks less awful and has a moody feel to it. Hence the appeal. It's Lomatography all over again.

I'm guilty of this - except I use the stock camera app. I do it when I'm eating out, so I can remember what I had, what the occasion was, who I was with, everything - photographing the food is just a part of it.
