    Yes, I'm stealthy!
    I even spotted that spelling mistake and then got distracted by chocolate 3 seconds later.

    That'd be good if it's a Nokia.

    I don't turn mine off so I wouldn't see the startup message. Are you one of those weird people who turns their phone off at night? ARE YOU!? :mad:

    Nah, I put it on silent when I sleep. Are you one of those people who goes mad if someone txts or calls in the night? :eek:

    My battery seems borked and the phone ran down and switched off earlier, only remembered the start up message when I ..turned it on.

    Mine never turns off, so I've never bothered with a start up message

    Dunno, think it's just Sony Ericson. However, my husband helpfully put a start up message on my last phone unknown to me as I never switch it off. This one time it was playing up on me, my sister who works in Vodafone took it in to work to get one of her supervisors to have a look. She told him it was hers. He turned the phone off and on..paused and looked at my sister with a raised eyebrow. The start up message said 'big balls on my husband':o

    It's actually a lolcat with hair-curlers / explosives strapped to him.

    Start up messages, whats the point?!

    No seriously, it says Nokia, then I swear at it because it's not starting up fast enough.

    It makes no sense to me to have a start-up message, i can't do it on my phone anyway.

    My phone doesn't have a start up message option on it :(
    It does, however, both make and take phone calls

    Mine just says Nokia, then two hands homosexually reach from each side of my screen and touch each other.
