Looking at the pics and videos online i would agree, but msoft never did any proper marketing for them, especially here in europe...

If WP8 comes with mass storage mode, that would be awesome.

Its actually a shame microsoft hasnt done this already, i think wp sales would have been a lot greater if microsoft mentioned it once in desktop windows. I want my phone to sync ota, i want my win 8 pc to know i have a wp and to make my experience better. Msoft has all the pieces to the puzzle (phone, pc, xbox, tablet) but is doing a horrible job connecting them...
