EDIT: I found the problem with T-Mobile SIM cards. The 9630 can only read 128kb SIM cards. Most T-Mobile SIM cards are only 32kb or 64kb SIM cards. Just upgrade to a 128kb SIM and you're all set.

My 8830 took 58 seconds.

It's not a slot of speaker (I've already opened the phone up). It's just an indentation, just like other BB phones that's used for belt clips with the thumb-release handle that clips into that slot.
