I just followed your steps as outlined and it took about 20 seconds to complete - not minutes for me. Regardless, it could use an improvement.
One thing that took several minutes, before I killed the phone app was clearing the 269 VM's in the deleted bin. That's one place I never think to go and clear out.
Maybe its just me but do you find the phone app severely lacking in iOS 7?
I'm not really sure. What could it be missing? It can make and receive calls, VM's and access contacts, make favorites, see recent calls etc.. What more does it need?
Have you tried restarting the phone? Perhaps resetting all settings?
It could be a bug, but it might not be either. And even if it is, it's hardly major or serious or anything like that (especially considering everything still actually works, just might take a little longer in that one particular case).
The phone buttons are smaller, and playing with Voice mails, deleting them, putting them on speaker, and creating contacts is more sluggish, and more hassles than in iOS 6.

I hadn't noticed. Though, I don't actually use the phone part of the iPhone very much.
Apple never has had these features, but if you used a BlackBerry you would see a world of difference with the phone app. You can SAVE/FORWARD AS A TEXT MESSAGE/EMAIL VoiceMails, create notes for conversations, and do all kinds of things.
BB is weak in other areas, but it would be nice if iPhone could match it in the phone area.

Whats the whole point of having one then? Is it not a Phone? Thats my first priority with the iPhone is the phone I mean why call it an iPhone?? Maybe Apple has lost sight of the basics and the man reason why people have iPhones.
With my 5 it took 42 seconds, a bug for sure. Use the Apple Feedback to report it.
Click on Visual VoiceMail and click on a VM. Next try and "Create a new Contact" from the VoiceMail and click save. It will take several minutes to save the contact which indicates a BUG. Anyone else experiencing this?
