I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 and attempted to transfer all of my music, etc. Somehow I am not able to fit all of the songs that I had on the 3GS onto the 4, which doesnt make much sense to me.
Furthermore, after removing some music and apps, my iTunes says that there is 5.2GB of free space on the phone, but the phone itself says there is 1.2GB.
How can there be a 4GB discrepancy?

Also, Ive tried resetting and restoring the phone as well as restarting my computer to see if theres any issue there. As far as I can tell, Im just simply missing 4GB of space on my phone.

There is an ongoing issue. It is in iTunes, not your phone. The amount of space is being essentially misreprsented by by iTunes and there are several threads on the topic. Hopefully and upcoming update to iTunes will resolve it.

Interesting. I didnt find any threads on this in the forums (but then again, I didnt look terribly hard).
My concern is that the amount of music that I have on my phone is 21.5GB or so, the space for apps is around 3.6GB, and I have no photos, movies, or other items (aside from less than ~.5GB of PDFs/books on iBooks). How is it that 21.5+3.6+1 = 26.1 and I should have 29.1 available on the phone?*
Also, how is it that the same amount of music fit on the 32GB iPhone 3GS, but not on the iPhone 4?
*After deleting some music, its down to 23.9GB vs. the 29.1GB that should exist, thus the 4GB missing space (along with the free 1.2GB I mentioned above).
