Can I use Entity Framework on Windows Phone 8

Is it possible to use Entity Framework to save data to a SQL CE database in isolated storage on Windows Phone 8?

When I try and add a reference to EF 5 using NuGet I get the error:

"Failed to add reference to 'System.Data.Entity'. Please make sure that it is in the Global Assembly Cache."

Any ideas?

Just tested this with VS2013 and EF6 still same problem.

But what is supported (although with limited functionality) is Linq to SQL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202872(v=vs.105).aspx

At least you get the same ORM style of data access.
