These #s mean nothing without taking into account target user as you
mention.<br>
<br>
Do Nothing: This person buys device, installs a few apps and nothing
else. (TARGET AUDIENCE)<br>
Minimal: These users install bunches of apps, certificates, pgp keys
(SECONDARY)<br>
Maxmimum: Power Users/Devt who fully tweak device, custom drivers, conf
edits, perhaps beyond restore-ability<br>
<br>
So for primary audience...what is prob' 30min. reinstall time isn't too
bad.<br>

<pre wrap="">Yep, that's exactly what I mean, some people have put down 430$ (in
Canada) for a nice toy, and they can flash and restore in 20 minutes,
but most people (I think, and I may be wrong) have put down 430$ for a
fully customised device .. I'm not looking to be skewing information, if
i'm wrong, then I'm wrong, no prob, then Nokia is right!

<pre wrap=""> If you limit your curiosity to those over 90 minutes, you'll
purposefully skew the results, which really isn't appropriate.
I'm a 20 minute flash and restore kind of guy, back in August when I
got the unit back from warranty service due to it's brick like
behavior. Most of that time was spent watching TV while the unit and
laptop did their work.
However, it's possible that it's easy and short for me because I've
kept things relatively simple on my N800 with a couple games, Gizmo
Project, Quiver photo viewer and Claws mail being just about the only
additions. I've configured about 20 RSS feeds and 4 weather stations.
I've tested a fair amount of other stuff from Maemo, but then when I
find it of limited value or unfunctional, I remove it to keep the
clutter down. It seems to speed boot up keeping things simple. I
gather it may also help the restore process...
I guess the fine print is I've only recently started messing around
getting Claws Mail up to full speed with filters and stuff, so it might
be possible that I might have to spend some time fussing with restoring
some Claws settings there from a restore, but then again, perhaps not.
