Does anyone know how to access the pre-loaded Backgrounds album that you see when you change your wallpaper in start+theme in the settings? It doesn't show up in the Photos hub or other apps when you go to your Albums, nor when you plug your phone into a PC and look at the folder / library tree.

My gf and I noticed that her 920 and my 1520 show different pre-loaded wallpapers in this Backgrounds album, and she wants one from my 1520 that isn't on the 920 (the purple one with bubbles.) I tried to MMS it to her, and that's when I noticed the Backgrounds album doesn't show up for other apps.

It seems strange that MS provides different backgrounds on different phones; I'd have assumed they'd just scale or stretch the same wallpaper choices to all the supported resolutions. Poor 920 doesn't have the horsepower to handle the monster 1520's purple bubble wallpaper awesomeness :evil:
