There's an intentional 20 second delay between the phone being ready and the 
phone registering (at least in CDMA) because registration is a lot of work 
on the server side (looking up roaming lists, etc) and they don't want you 
screwing things up by intentionally cycling the phone over and over.

As for a long boot time, chances are you have a crappy slow SIM, and it's 
taking 20 minutes to copy the data from the SIM into the volitile memory of 
the phone
