    blackberry's take a while to restart, although 10 minutes seems excessive, mine usually takes 3-4 mins from a battery pull, i think a bit longer if i have uninstalled something and then the longest after i reinstalled the OS.

    Agreed, it does take a long time - mine's in the 3-4 minute range. I think it's longer than my pearl, but worth the wait IMO!

    I didn't time it, but I recall it took a crazy long time to reboot my tour like 5- 15 minutes. I hear from others that BlackBerrys just take a long time to reboot. I rarely have to reboot it unless it is for a new Application. Along with WiFi, this long reboots are my biggest gripes with the phone. Fortunately those gripes are small compared to the please this phone gives me.

    I use BerryMeter to schedule a simulated battery pull every day at 4:30AM. I'm usually sound asleep when it restarts. I can tell from the log that it takes approx. 9 min to boot up. Excessive? Yes it is! But since I'm sleeping I could care less.

    Given the amount of free memory on the Tour, I would think that the need to do a restart should be held to a minimum. I do it daily because of my OCD. It's an illness, what can I tell ya?

    I have a second battery and a mini battery charger because I don't like having my blackberry connected to a charging port I don't why I just want my blackberry in my hands at all time. But I will call sprint today and see what they will tell me.

    I thought it is the norm for the Tour to take around 10 min to reset. If not, please let me know. I will get Verizon to replace my Tour.

    berrymeter wont help you if you have to switch batteries during the day. 10 minutes is a long time for a business phone not to be able to receive calls or emails.

    Both of you, don't return it.

    It's perfectly fine. Mine has taken 10 minutes in the past too. Don't worry, just suck it up.

    It will be fixed/optimized soon.

    Reboot speed will increase as better builds come out, so i wouldn't worry that much about it. 10 minutes seems obscene, the average should be about 3-4 minutes

    Mine's clocking in at about 4-6 minutes, which I thought was a bit excessive, but I'm hoping an OS update soon (hopefully 5.0?) would improve that. Anyway IMO it's worth the wait and I haven't had to do that many hard resets anyway.

    I will say the same thing I said in the other Tour reboot time thread. These are not cell phones they are computers.

    The reboot I don't believe is going to be the phone it is the OS

    As for the length of the reboot is 5 to 7 minutes such a big deal ? If so why ?

    weird. mine takes around 3 mins. maybe because i don't have many apps on it.

    Well lets say u install a new app and u have use it .. but wait u have to restart.. 10 mins ur sol. no msg no calls nothing!

    OR the phone locks up (which I've learned just to tap the end button a few times and wait 2 mins for it come out of its coma) and u pull bat.. yet again, waiting..

    I know theres been times when I have been prompted to restart and I purposely waited till I knew I wouldnt need the phone for a bit...

    wow I sound like a whiny bia... I mean I guess its not all that bad.. just sometimes really annnnnoooyyyiinng waiting for it to come back to life.. sometimes 5 min most likely 10-12
