Get a Spotify subscription and then you may stream all your music and 16gb will be good enough :)

I ready have Zune Pass but like to have it on my storage for quick access.

It only has a 16GB storage! It would not be a problem if you can add more but 16GB is not that much anymore with music and photos!

Ehh, depends I suppose. For photos, 16 GB is a LOT. I have the One X and the 8X looks like the exact same camera. It takes pics typically between 2-3 MB, which would mean it can fit 5000+ pictures on it. Are you going to have anywhere NEAR that many? Probably not.

Then I use Spotify, as Ely mentioned, and storage for music is never an issue. I don't know about Zune Pass or how it works, but Spotify lets you download playslists of commonly played music. I've never run into even the slightest bit of an issue with only 8 GB, even with half the space used up with ROMs, more pictures than most people, and a few hundred songs downloaded.

But, if you think that's not enough, then there are definitely other options. I'm good even with 8 GB on my One X though.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that skydrive on WP8 will support streaming music to your phone (and other devices). We already know that Xbox Music will have a cloud locker that will probably use skydrive, so that's another 7GB at least right there, or 25GB if you're like me and got grandfathered in before the change.

Spotify lets you to actually download your music to your local storage for offline/quick access, then you may pick which music you want to stream and which to keep local thus making wiser use of your storage.

I'm very disappointed in the 16GB of storage. I wanted to stay with HTC but with these disappointing specs I will have to go with the ATIV S when WP8 comes out.

Will ATIV S come out for T-Mobile?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
