That's the memory being used by programs and the phone's basic operating system. You can't get that back. Also, when you format any kind of storage device you lose some of that storage to formatting.

Best thing you can do is buy a 1 GB or 2 GB memory card and store everything possible on that. Leave the phone's internal memory as untouched as possible. Some things simply have to be stored in the phone's memory. But all your pictures, music, videos, etc, can go on the card.

I've got a 2 GB memory card in mine. They take the relatively new Memory Stick Micro (M2).

EDIT: Oops! I have the K550i. My bad.
