Enable USB storage
It would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone devices as USB storage
This feature is now available in Windows Phone 8. Please note that while Windows Phone 8 doesn’t support USB mass storage with a full file explorer, it does support reading/writing pictures, music, videos and ringtones very similar to the way you normal would with a USB drive.

If you wanted to transfer something from a public computer to your phone what shoul you do? You need USB Storage mode!

Without USB support this phone becomes useless in my car as a USB device to plug into my stereo (for music). Found a app on xda to enable USB access via pc so its a start (search for Wp7USBstorageEnabler). USB storage needs to be added in urgently or WP7 going to loose allot of customers to Andriod.

That's why I suggested having a pass code for USB mass storage

True but I would hate for a stranger to get ahold of my phone and have easy access to my stuff

You can create folders. On the SkyDrive allow people by links or permissions super sweet

Skydrive is great but data internet=expensive, computer are not always connected, click and drag usb is faster than zune sync and skydrive

Zune (cloud) is not a serious alternative in a real world business environment. I only realized this missing feature after I bought a WP 7.5 smartphone; direct data exchange between a WP device and a PC is ESSENTIAL!

Get rid of the Zune junk software and allow normal USB mass storage access to the device ! I already have Windows Media Player on my PC (which works 100x better as Zune) to hold my media content, so let it synchronise as mass storage. In addition, mass storage should be available to easily store personal things (no we don't use Skydrive everywhere, definitely not abroad).

This feature is sorely missed. Zune transfer is much clunkier than direct drag and drop.
