IIRC, for every failed retry, the wait time doubles. But the worst you can do is power it off or take the battery out. This causes the phone lost the track of your last re-try and immediately go to maximum.
So if I took the phone to a Care Point, the only thing they could do would be a hard reset?
Correct. It is an OS feature, Nokia can't do much about it.
