I tried to make the animation shorter but didn't work, so I think you just can't B)

I don't know about the animation, but you can get rid of the annoying sound by replacing poweron.wav and poweroff.wav with silent wav-files. These are hidden system files in the \Windows folder. I've replaced mine with files containing just one silent sample and it works fine. Now I can turn on/off the phone in a meeting without having to worry about the sound settings.

Can you please tell me how you managed this, since the two files recides in the ROM?

Just put the replacement files in your \Windows folder (you'll need a tool like Resco File Explorer to make the hidden system files visible). While it's true the original files reside in the ROM and cannot be overwritten without hacking the ROM, Windows Mobile has a mechanism that allows files with the same name as ROM files to be put in the same folder. The operating system will then use the new files instead of the ROM files. This mechanism allows updates, patches,... without a ROM upgrade.

This will survive a soft reset, but obviously the replacement files will be lost on a hard reset.
