I have an old Nokia, that gives a quick spurt to the vibrate when starting, so you know it's starting.
This is the sort of thing they could do with adding , for everyone's benefit really, but ours in particular.

I do wish there were more definite power sounds though.

How to restart Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off. Personal note: for VoiceOver user this means hold power button for at least 4 seconds or until you hear: "Power off, slide or double-tap." At this point simply double-tap the screen and wait for about 30 seconds for the full shutdown to complete. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo. Personal note: for VoiceOver users this means press and hold the power button for about 4 seconds then release the button and wait for about 30 seconds for the full restart--you will eventually hear VoiceOver begin speaking. How to reset You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it. To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. Personal note: it is specified that you should only use this method if you can't manually shut down as described in the first part of this tutorial. In other words, make all effort to shut down and restart properly, and if that doesn't work, then choose this Sleep button+Home button procedure. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 Joseph the free tech guy! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
