Is that the same on every Boost phone, or just on the lower-end units? Does the Debut have a huge problem with this?

all phones on the iden network do have to download a text because it is sent through an internet connection but it shouldn't take a real 10 minutes, most of the time is should go through in about 30-60 sec depending upon amount of data in message.
