How much memory does a new 1520 have straight out of the box?

I notice that the AT&T version of the 1520 is offered with only 16 gigs of memory, how much is left after all of the built in OS and junk ware is left?

The AT&T preinstalled apps (and any other apps that might be considered junk) can be deleted.

32GB has up to 26GB available for user data, I don't know what AT&T installs on it and how much memory it uses.
My 925 (16GB) came with good 12GB of space for user data.

16GB is very little, especially if you intend to take lots of photos (which are already 2~3MB on 925, they must be much bigger on 1520 in full resolution). If you'll only use a couple of apps, it's okay though, but if you intend on installing lots games, you'll quickly run out of memory. I really wish they had the 32GB 925 here, 16GB (12 actually) is very little.

Not enough for my taste, but with a MicroSD slot, you can store pictures and music there. And when 8.1 is released you will be able to store apps there too. So if you are trying to save a buck, go with the 16GB and carry a BIG MicroSD card. LoL

When I switched on my 1520 for the first time, I got 2.87 GB used, 26.25 GB free
