8.92 GB Internal memory?

[WannaUpgrade]

Hello everyone,
I just got the Photon last night. I just moved on from my Evo 4G. It's a completely different experience in the UI. Cant wait to root and change out he ROM.

Here is my problem. I go to check the system and It shows Internal storage "Total space 8.92 GB" "Available space 8.63". It's supposed to have 16 GB of internal memory. I understand that some of the OS and other bloatware is going to take up some of the Internal memory, but Almost half? 8GB? that seems a bit extreme. Is this normal or do I have a defective phone?

Thanks
