boot time from one of my n800's from sd card is SIGNIFICANTLY less than a minute...(never bothered before ...but I am curious ..so I will reboot it when I get home and see how long it takes...)
AND...
I have left 'em plugged in.... and running.... for MONTHS solid ...before rebooting ....and NOT because I had to reboot either!....
and that is 10 yr old tech.
So...if modern devices and os's are having trouble and needing reboots...and they have boot up times that are long...
There is a DEFINITE problem...
and the solution is...
everyone should have an n8x0 !

I made an experiment. Switched off my N900 and my Jolla and made some measurements. All are accurate to +/-2 seconds, due to using a regular wrist watch and having to constantly flip between looking at the watch and the phone screen.
First, the N900:
12 seconds of white screen with the Nokia logo, then darkness
35 seconds to the wallpaper first appearing
55 seconds to first desktop icons appearing
1 minute for the desktop fully populated
1 minute 5 seconds for tapping on the File Manager icon having any effect
1 minute 17 seconds for File Manager actually showing any mounted volumes
Now the Jolla:
15 seconds of Jolla logo, then darkness
35 seconds to the first sign of any life (spinner)
50 seconds to the home screen
To Jolla's credit, I could use the phone from that point on.

If I could only convey properly giggles, snickers and guffaws in text...
ooooh!
I can't wait to get home now ...
reboot my Precambrian n800 ...
and time it!
If it does better than the n900 that is pretty frickin' bad...
If it does better than the Jolla I would call that grim....
If it has a time no better or worse than either....I wouldn't call that a success either...
tech 5 to 10 years in advance and their corresponding specs had better beat my antiquated jalopy ....
or many people better start throwing out a lot of ideas on the progression of technologies...

Simply stated, and I really do not want a semantic battle over what comes next - I want a communication device that can interface what my needs are today and not what they were in 2008. I want a device that actually has little to no noticeable lag in the times I really find it frustrating and can do what I need. Uptime is at the lowest of the things that I'm looking for to be honest - stability is great, but if it cannot interface a damn thing, uptime just means that I'm in possession of a device that does nothing but give me bragging rights.
tl;dr **** uptime. Give me functions.

@gerbick, I agree that on its own @juiceme's post is about as good as a p155 in the wind. But was your moan about the boot time any better? Both are pretty much irrelevant. Both about equally so.

Boot time is relevant to me because these mobile OS's are unoptimized and getting bulkier per day. Where's the devices that boot or at least wake up quickly? Perhaps you can live with something that boots (or wake) in the time of microwave popcorn but I don't have that patience left in me.
I get it; you don't consider what I pointed out as important. That's actually quite fine. But as free as you lot are to bring out what's important to you; I can do the same.

However I disagree with you on the latter points. I see no merit in the waste you call "modern websites" and nice enough I don't have to use those. (what are they anyway, have not came across any really??)
I can surf the sites I need pretty well, for example TMO works okay.
And what are those communication platforms you so desire; I can use voicecall, email, sms, irc... In fact I have never needed anything else.
(not exactly true; we had a passing fad in the company where we used slack but it was abandoned after a while for the basic and reliable ones, email and irc...)
As for connections; in my country both 3G and 4G are pretty ubiquous and for that reason so many people have migrated over to 4G that it happens so that currently 3G is very uncognested and provides speedy and reliable connection.

And lipstick restart takes just 4 seconds, what device can you match that with?
