I haven't timed it on the mobile network, but I would say there have been times it took 30 seconds or more to load and begin playing. I don't use it enough on the BlackBerry to be able to say what is the rule and what is the exception.

Thirty seconds on wifi is a long time, though, and much longer than I found in my test just a minute ago.

You might try a hard reset, of course. And also look at what apps you have running at the same time, particularly any apps you have set to run in the background when closed.
