cannot sync, not enough free space. 'other'is taking up too much space. i have no 'other' things on my phone and have never had this problem before. I believe this may have come from upgrading to ios5.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

How big is "Other"? On iOS 5 it is typically about 1 GB. On earlier versions it was 300-500 MB. If yours is much larger than 1 GB you have corruption in the file system on your iPhone. You can fix it by restoring the phone with iTunes.
