Is it possible to make Visual Studio 2010's code completion window more like that of Eclipse (Java)?

In particular, I'd love the code completion window to give me a variable's type, and a method's return type and expected parameters, without needing to hover the highlight over that particular variable/method.

VS's code completion's little icons that indicate if something is a property, method etc are useful, but they just aren't enough.
