On OS 4.7.0.40 it was around 14 minutes (i know i know :S)
and on OS 5.0.0.230 it was around 9.
I'm pretty happy with my 5.32 but your 3 minutes are much impressive! Witch OS and apps are you running?
Should have said it earlier, I just updated from 4.7 to the latest 5.0. My first upgrade of any blackberry... Lesson learned on how to do it and not lose all your stuff.
a few apps: amaze gps, google maps, the weather channel, wheres my phone, google voice, google sync, google mobile, buzz me (not sure i need it anymore?) slacker radio and quickpull.
Using Online Stopwatch, my BlackBerry Tour on Verizon using OS 5.0.0.419 takes 3 minutes at 47 seconds to load from battery insert to passing security verification.

loll
I think we all did like you the first time. I change my OS once 2 weeks. You'll take good habits
Less then 1.25 minutes with .419, shrinked down to nothing and I have 3 themes/15 apps.
REVISED:
Just tried the online stopwatch and it reads out: 1.47, either way I'm fine with my results. I guess I am not good at keeping track with my brains stop watch, lol.
Mine still takes 3:40, never changes either way,,, running stock OS.57. Geez I am getting pumped about what my time will be with the OS 5.0.. maybe 50 seconds??? LOL. I feel pretty good about my Tour after reading some of the start up times others are reporting.. must be someone was watching over me when I bought this one.
