[QUOTE="eddielee, post: 1071748, member: 68067"] I don't know if I agree with that. The way the iPhone works you should be able to fill it and not see a speed decrease. This happens on PC's and macs as they use SWAP space, (when ram is full the computer uses the hard drive as ram). The iPhone has flash memory not a hard drive and as your may or may not know there is a limited amount of times you can write to flash memory, due to this apple have disabled swap space on iPhones; once the ram is full something will be removed to store the new data. There no saving to memory so, as far as that is concerned filling your iPhone wont effect speed. It may be slow however if files are fragmented, but as iTunes stores things logically this will only happen if you have slowly filled your iPhone over time, if you do a restore and let iTunes fill your iPhone from it being empty in one go it will be fine. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
