Underpowered to todays standards, yes, but that was the technology then. But my Bold 9930 starts up faster than a "top of the line" Droid Razr which is very impressive (my post above)

Yeah that is interesting. I have 3 os7 phones. 2 9930's and a torch 9850.

None of them can boot as fast as my DROID razr maxx. They are not slow though. Acceptable.

2-1/2 - 3 mins tops on my 9860! quite acceptable if you ask me! never had a device that took longer than that.

My 9700 took at least 6 mins... Only until i deleted emails and sms the boot time went to 4 mins... You would think it was dual booting Win 95 and 98. lol

For all you saying it doesn't take ten minutes, I have actually experienced this on several occasions. Not often but it DOES still happen at times...it can be very annoying. I've got the 9900 as well. Usually it doesn't take too long...hopefully.
