Have you ever been irritated at whatever the "Other" is that is taking up space on your iPhone? It's the orange section of the bar of the Capacity indicator on the Summary screen on iTunes.
"Other" is iTunes catch-all category for everything that isn't Audio, Video, Photos or Apps. Presumably this includes contacts, crash reports, illegitimate ringtones and who knows what else. Well, my "Other" had crept up to 338.8 MB.
Just for kicks, I restored my phone to see if doing so might help. I lost some settings here and there (my phone doesn't lock now, e.g.) and your applications will be in a different order, but for the most part, everything was pretty much as it was when I last backed up, including application data. I did find rearranging the applications (over five pages) pretty tedious -- Apple really needs to come up with a cleverer way to allow folks to organize their apps.
Now my "Other" is 294.8 MB. That's a 44 MB difference, so for me, a worthwhile exercise. Hopefully I won't regret it at a later date. Now that I think about it, I wonder if this might clean up iPods as well...
(Side note: I'm using the latest iPhone OS 2.2.1)
