Nothing much. Just in case there are people here who wanted to know the startup speed/see the swipe to unlock in action.

the nokia "hands" animation is even creepier than the old "hands" bootscreen :-(

That combined with http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1230766942 (via http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=14310)

is XD

....and instead of the text. the N900 version will be audio!

hm, that isn't much fast...i hope it will be 15seconds faster in the end... the animation is creepy...and if it wasn't there (just a picture), it would load faster too..

and the swiping is fine though

Somebody needs to look for this animation in the filesystem to disable it.
The swipe to unlock is nice, though. In daily use you simply use the unlock button, and when showing the phone off to an iPhone user you can use swipe to unlock. It's nice to have both alternatives.

anim looks cool

i'd rather end up using the physical slide lock, rather than the screen

Nokia doesn't put a lot of effort into boottimes. They spend that effort on battery life instead. Why? Because these are always-on devices. They aren't meant to be turned off every time they go in your pocket. They're meant to be left on all day every day.

If you're waiting through a lot of bootups then you're doing it wrong.

Except when you want to change the SIM on the N900. A bit of a bummer for frequent travellers that.
