Yes, this *one* N800 does this. I have 3 here and the other 2 boot in under a minute. I've taken all the cards out of it but that had no effect on boot time. This seems to imply that it's not entirely "hung" but something is taking its time during the boot process. (Thus my desire to reflash it.)

I had not tried the Linux-based flasher yet, only the Windows-based software updater. The latter, btw, never "sees" this N800. Neither does windows go through its usual i-found-a-device routine.

Installing the latest flasher is my next step...my downloads are not completing today either....grrr...holidays...
