Here's my first tip
Go to settings_manage applications>look for device management.apk and clear the data , This app stores 40mb to 48mb of data for some reason . I cleared mine and been checking my information on the phone and its all still there . I don't know what the app does or what info it stores ,but I regained 48mb of internal storage .freshly restored phone with this tip =153mb of storage..
Any more tips or tricks please add them here .....
I googled this a little and found this comment from flak0

"Oh 1 last thing it seems I may have found an exploit with the device management.apk. It has the option to run a bootloader/bootstrap test, could this be exploited to install customer recovery? Its just a thought"

Considering the size it is probably a backup of the OS in order to do a recovery. I don't know why they would allow you to clear the data though if it was important. Either way I cleared it and am very happy to have tons of space free.


Also I just rebooted my phone and whatever was in there came back. I wonder what the phone would do if it didn't have enough space to put that content back.
