Now my E61i is not exactly fast, but installing an application takes 
tens of seconds, tops. Large amounts of data I do with the USB cable, by 
the way, and certain things need to be done with that cable, like 
installing a new OS version.

So there's no real reason for the iPhone to be so slow, because my E61i 
has 64 MB + 2 GB, all flash.
