WP math: 280meg - 59 meg = You don't have enough room to d/l!

What kind of non-sense is this. I have 280meg of storage left and I can't get a game that uses 59meg? What am I missing?

That sounds like it might be reserving some space for other purposes (cache? temp data? who knows) and that downloading that game would drop it below its limit.

Install may be larger than the download? Or does the marketplace list installed size of apps? I know I can download adobe CS and its much larger after installed than the download image.

8gig of RAM seemed like a lot when I bought my 820 but it went away quickly.

Good point. I think the marketplace lists the download size which is most likely compressed vs. the installed size.

Same math that shows my SD Card has -14,240,131,690 bytes of Other in use in the Settings -> Phone Storage -> SD card screen.

Always go for the biggest you can afford. Oh and it's not RAM it's flash memory
