Yea, what he said.
Seriously, if Windows Phone wants to compete with Android and iOS, then the OEMs are going to have to offer at least the option to purchase a 32gb (preferably 64) device, especially on these "high end" devices. Both and Android and iOS offer the cloud and devices with the extra memory AND both Google and Apple offer free cloud access to our OWN Music, unlike the $9.99/month Zune Pass. It's not competitive, and it's a joke that after 2 years vendors still don't get it. I'm starting to wonder if Microsoft charges a licensing premium for devices with more than 16 GB of storage to encourage Zune Pass use. There seems to be no other reasonable explanation...especially when you see Nokia, the supposed top-tier vendor, that at this point has no alternative, still release a device that is at the low-end of Apples device line-up, in terms of memory. Oh well, one more reason for me to continue waiting to buy my first WP7 device. While I've been waiting, I've probably purchased a half dozen Android devices. Microsoft, you keep missing out on a bunch of business, by not fully committing to this market!
