No, you just misunderstood my comment. I was using GSM/GPRS as an
example of where address configuration time for a handset is a usability
issue. We've found that it has to be squeezed down to 2..3 seconds in
order to make end users happy. v4ll configuration in handsets has to
meet the same user expectations.
