I got this Nokia N80 for work. The first thing I noticed is how long it took to start up. So I thought I’d time it and start a competition with other phones. I’m sure the phones with more advance features will go down and more simple phones will rise to the top. Then again who knows, lets see how it pans out. Game on!
Rules
- Timing starts from the time you press the on power button.
- Timing stops when the phone is fully loaded with wallpapers and everything.
- You don’t have to wait for operator activation.
- Times for the same phone will be averaged.
So far my Motorola SLVR L7 is winning, submit your times in the comments and try to beat me. I’m so beat. Keep those times coming guys. I hope no one is cheating.
