Ok I really wanted the 32 gig model but had to get the 16 gig model instead. Had I known about the massive Other storage issue, I would have considered the 32 gig Lumina 920. Let me explain.
I am not a big music hoarder. My 16 gig memory card just has over 5 gigs of media and that is about enough for me. Majority of my photos are on the cloud. So what's the problem? I have a ton of apps but the 6.15 gigs other storage is taking up space. I only have around 1 gig or remaining phone storage. This means there is not much room to play with.
On my Samsung Ativ S:
5.08 gb apps
6.14 gb other
2.12 gb system
free space 1.34 gb
(excluding 5.50 gb media on SD card)
Had I had all this on a 32 gig Nokia Lumina 920, I would have had more phone storage for apps and data:
5.08 gb apps
6.14 gb other
2.12 gb system
5.50 gb media
free space around 13 gig (based on 29 available storage).
Clearly 13 gig is way better than 1.34 gig. I have a lot of unused space on my SD card which could have gone towards phone storage and apps on my 32 gig Ativ S/Lumia 920.
As soon as 32gig model is out am selling my 16gig and upgrading.
This whole Other storage is the culprit. God knows what 8 gig owners are going through.
