I suggest you try a Hard reset (this is covered in more detail in the manual), which will clear the phone out entirely allowing you to start afresh, if you still find the phone is slowing down after this however, it could well be you are using up all the program memory. To find out how much program memory you have availible, follow the steps below.

Tap Start
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap System
4. Tap Memory

The layout here will tell you how much memory is left to install programs to (Storage) and how much is left to actually run programs (Program). Bear in mind certain programs use up more memory than others, with things like Microsoft ActiveSync and Windows Media Player using the most."

I installed a 2Gb card performed the above task and the performance of the Tytn is much better its not locking up when I use the media player.

Uh, yeah. Not sure I see the point of this.

The point is, anyone is having memory problems or problems with the Tytn freezing could try this solution.

Which solution? Installing a memory card or checking available memory?

I think the OP has just learned about Hard Reset clearing everything, which does of course make things run a bit better... :confused:

(thats the only bit of that I can see that would improve performance.. fitting a 2GB card if anything makes the phone a bit slower)

Hard resets are fun!!! ;)

I have a 2gb card of which is 3/4 full. I've had to switch off the keypad tones when dialing as they are distorted :(

I think the point is that XDA forum members know more about HTC hardware and Microsh*t software than the respective companies (gee, I can read a manual, script, wiki etc too) - probably a canned response from a call centre in Bangladesh (no offence meant to Indians - just a sore point in UK)
