indeed after a series of drivers that XP installed (mainly from the cd-rom) i think, i could use my W800 as mass storage.
But i think, for own savety, to just save documents in de 'other' folder.

I’ve tried my K750 on several PCs, most of them required me to install drivers to use it as a mass storage device, but it worked on 2 PCs without drivers (what I mean is it worked with default XP drivers). Out of the two, one had a live internet connection but the new hardware found wizard never ran; and the other PC was a dialup machine which was offline at the time. None of the PCs had any SE software installed nor was a K750/W800 connected before. So I can confirm that it works without installing drivers, but very rarely.
Since it worked on two PCs and since SE claims that it acts as a USB mass storage device, I think it does. Which only leaves me to believe that the problem lies in the way the phone announce it self to XP, maybe XP is detecting other services like modem etc. before it detects the storage device as some people have already mentioned.
I was so thrilled about this feature before buying the phone, cos I thought I could replace both my flash drive and the MP3 player with the phone, but things didn’t exactly turn out the way I hoped. However I managed to get by using the phone as a storage device most of the time cos most of the places have access to the internet.
