some members of this forum will remember the days when getting your computer to load your favourite game from cassette would take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.
anyway, an errant webpage caused my phone crash today so i had to remove the battery and force a hard reboot - it took a surprisingly long time:
blackberry storm 9500 (with media card full of music): 3 minutes 11 seconds (it it's a bit slow for a couple of minutes afterwards, but usable)
so, how long does your phone take to boot up? surely i can't be the only one who thinks that 3 minutes just to get a phone in a position to make a call is a bit excessive? i mean what on earth is it doing?
i think this has to be some sort of metropol phone boot record.
my old Nokia 3210 (which i *still* have somewhere) used to take about 15 seconds as i recall. The interface was there much faster, but it took a few seconds longer to sort out your contacts and sms messages.
the person with the longest phone bootup time wins a tesco cheese slice.
