upgraded from 928 to 1020, other storage ballooned

[themadpoet1]

I only had a gig of other storage on my 928, but now that I jumped Verizon's ship and went to AT&Twith the 1020, my other storage is 2.6 GB. I've tried deleting all the maps and emails but obviously there is something wrong here

So from what I could observe between my 920 and now my 1020, and read from others all around, it seems like the 1020 has always over 2 gigs of other Storage, while the 9xx only have bit over 1 gig... The only difference besides the camera between these is the RAM.

The 9xx have 1 GB and the 1020 has 2 GB. I think the page file (which is often automatically set in Windows to be the same size to 1.5x as the physical RAM) is included there, too and therefore it will never get smaller than that. But at least it shouldn't grow much further.

Ive had 2.5/6 gig for over a month and no change, seems to be about the norm
