Just watched CNET Asia’s ‘prize fight’ between the iPhone 3G, 3GS and the Pre and I was shocked as to how long the Pre and the iPhone 3G takes to boot up. My N95 takes about 25 seconds including entering my Pin. But 1 minute and 46 seconds to boot that’s just nuts, 48 seconds for the iPhone too, ain’t too clever.
The Pre did go on to win the next two tests, web browsing and taking a photo and emailing it. The second test is a little useless here with MMS already available.

The Palm Pre does have a long boot time, but no different than the Blackberry. How do they compare to the G1?
Frankly, i’ll take the extra boot time (for now) in exchange for all the other features besting the iPhone. Palm needs something besides apps and marketing to work on…
