Hi,
I have downloaded the Visual Studio 2010 CTP along with Phone 7 emulator, but am finding writing code a little counter intuative (coming from a c++ background). Can someone direct me to some good intermediate-level resources / tutorials?

I just listened to a good Hanselminutes episode about that topic. It seemed like a good starting point to me.

But rereading the question it seems like you might be looking for just a general guide to C#. For that I would start with a book, personally. I don't think web sites offer a good "start from scratch" experience.
As for which book, Jon Skeet has a good one. The new edition comes out in July but the old one would still be useful.

I literally listened to the same hanselminutes not two hours ago. It is a great starting point.

Already downloaded it - it is only the first few chapters but enough to get a good idea from. +1 for resource link.

I also found the tutorials on Channel 9 very good. Especially the tutorial on Navigation and use of controls. Also here is another tutorial developing a Windows Phone List aplication.

Charles Petzold has a primer on C# for C++ developers available for free here: http://www.charlespetzold.com/dotnet/index.html
I also read Essential C# 3.0 over the holidays and found it to be a pretty good C# overview. I'd recommend it.

Here are some that I've written: http://www.kirupa.com/windowsphone/index.htm
The tutorials cover both C# coding as well as using Expression Blend when appropriate.
