Hey all,

I have an extensive photo library and had it all synced with my apps, music, etc on my iPhone 3G 16 gig. It's still there actually. Today I upgraded to an iPhone 4 16 gig and I ran out of space. This makes no sense to me since I'm syncing the exact same amount of "stuff" and the HD is the same size on both phones.

The only think I can think is perhaps the iphone 4 stores photos at a higher resolution than the 3g does. It went through all my photos and "optimized" them again, so this is why I'm lead to believe this.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could give me some advice. If I'm right about the photo sizes, is there a way to restrict this somehow? Thanks.

Trevor

You could make the photos a max dimension of 480x320px in iPhoto and then put them on.
