Okay, this is getting silly. It's a phone, it's a mass storage device, it's a computer, it's a global networking device, it's a camera, it's a GPS locator, etc. It's all of them at the same time. Don't call it "a phone" and ignore everything else it can (or should be able to) do.
- ugh 15y agoWhy do you want it to be a mass storage device? I don’t get it.
- icebraining 15y agoTo copy files to it? Music, documents, videos, etc? Sure, you can use Wifi, but that's slower, more cumbersome and wastes battery life.
- ugh 15y agoManually? What century is this? Isn’t there a way to sync? That would be strictly preferable to a mass storage device.
- icebraining 15y agoNo, it wouldn't, exactly because that wouldn't be OS agnostic. And who said anything about it being manual? Mass storage devices can be synced. Mine certainly are.
- ugh 15y agoMeh. Just because some geeky stuff is missing doesn’t make WP7 not a great OS. As if anyone cares about Linux.
- cryptoz 15y ago1. Plug in. 2. Drag and Drop files. That's geeky? I disagree.
- ugh 15y agoThat’s a sucky way of transferring stuff. I’m not sure why anyone would want to do that to themselves.
- icebraining 15y agoCompared to iTunes on Windows, it's heaven. My mother has an iPod and that thing can't do anything without freezing the UI.

It’s, what is it? How do you use it? You know, how does the consumer approach it? And so who cares what’s inside it anymore?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc8QXzYQoBY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc8QXzYQoBY
