well, graphics are mainly th eproblem here, since you use so many graphics, it takes a lot of times to load them up for a phone user !
example:
an images that is 100k big, is an hell on earth for a user that can load nothing more then 5.6k per seconds ! this means 20 seconds to load the image ! now add to that number of seconds all the other images on your web site !

by today's standard if a phone user has to wait over 1 minute, the person gets discouraged and will abandon seeing your site or will bitch about it !
so basically the loading time should be over that 1 minute limit !

i don't mind that limit as long as it doesn't take me 5 minutes to load. the only web pages i agree for that are FLASH GAMES or MOVIES web sites entirely made in flash !

so basically you gotta watch out for images, they are the ones messing up things !
but it depends, JAVA SCRIPTS can be an hell as well.
Sounds and musics add to the loading times as well !

ya just gotta understand that the loading time refers to the time it takes to download the things to your machine. once you know that, you notice how a web page that has a lot of things on it, has to load before being showed or played, so basically everything on a web page add times to the loading times !

TEXTs isn't big so it takes next to 0 seconds to load, except if you got a lot of it and by a lot i really mean a lot !

anyway, on your web site i would guess that you made too many MULTIMEDIA uses on it.

i know the music is good and add a feeling on your web page, but is it really necessary ?
if yes, how can you reduce its size ?
is your images a good format. if yes again how can you reduce their sizes ?
if no, can you change their types to get better performances ?

see, that's the questions you gotta ask yourself !
anyway... like i said, it depends, if you consider the world to be on cable and expect the users on your web site to be mostly high speed users, then you're ok with it now ! but otherwise, you'll have to reduce loading time by reducing the size of the files we got to load !
