    Any way to speed up startup of N80?

    recently got the N80 and loving it so far.Takes ages to start up when you switch it on. Any way to speed this up?
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    I'm not sure about starting up, but reducing the size of the log certainly speeds up the menu system.
    Menu --> My Own --> Log --> Options --> Settings
    Change log size from 30 days to 1 day.

    Might be worth a try.

    My N70 is also very slow in starting up. I assumed it was a Symbian thing.

    I think slow start up is just the way it is one symbian based phones. My 6680 is the same. Great interface once it's going though, I'm not liking my new Motorola at all, I think I may try Samsung. All the new Nokias are too big for me!

    ^ That's killed it stone dead

    Just how long a start-up are we talking? My N73 takes 30secs with a custom theme active (it'll prolly be quicker without the F-Secure AV installed.) Also depends how much memory you've got free and the size of the memory card. When the salesman demo'd the N73 it took about 45secs, but once he put a 256MB card in it shaved 25secs off the start-up.

    Mind you tho 30secs is still faster than my AMD 64/300 with 1Gig of RAM at 2 minutes *YAWN*

    That made me curious so I just timed mine, took 38 seconds from the moment I turned it on.
    I do have quite a few apps installed though which might be slowing it down.

    I don't really mind the start up time so much as I very rarely turn the phone off.

    It's not a phone, it's a multimedia computer.

    LOL! Yeah. You're not kidding! It is a Multimedia Computer.

    With a 2GB Memory Card (soon to be 4GB), a handful of MP3's, a couple of compressed DIVX movies (Customised for the 320x240 screen so only about 200MB) and a copy of TCPMP Player for Pocket PC, it's a fully fledged PMP.

    Although I do hate having to reboot the damn thing. My PC boots up faster!
