This an old trick, but i found out there's more to it. First things first:
- when you press the menu button for about 2 seconds, you get this window on top of screen (you can do it when you have an app running, and not when in idle mode)
- as you see, I have Standby, Medical and Screenshot. These are the 3 applications running in my phone at that time. So you can switch between these apps. it's good when you're running an app, then get a phone call. Don't go through the menu an open it again! Just press menu for 2 secs (even less) and there it is.
- one more thing is that you can exit any app here just by scrolling to it and hitting the "c" button on the phone. You get an exit confirmation question and there it is. You can kill any freezing app as easy as that. No need for an add-on to do that.
- the other plus is the scrolling between apps and selecting in that little menu. Probably all of us use the joystick/5-way keypad to do it then select by pressing the central button. Nope nope. Another way: after that running apps menu shows on the left, keep your finger on the menu button, and now press it normally, you will scroll through all those apps like on that screen, if i push menu i will have scrnshot highlighted instead of medical, if i do it twice, i'll have standby... and so on. Now that you have the app you want highlighted, you need to select it. No need for central button. Just push the menu button for 2 seconds again, and you switch to your selected app. That's nice for lazy people like me :D
I don't know if that trick works on previous s60, but it sure does on s60 3rd. I usually use it when i'm reading a book on mobireader and need to check some definition in my oxford dict.
Gotta go now. I have some chicken to cook now... well during the exams period, i was so desperate i did all kinds of crazy things, like watch tv 10hrs/day, wake up at 9am (i'm a 6 oclock girl), watch a report about north korea, and, well, promise mom to cook!!!
