Folks.

Just got my N95 and quite impressed so far ... Loving the WIFI option ...

Anyway ...

I realise that Symbian does not have a task manager like windows CE, but I want to know how to get back to the top level any running application

eg.

I go to the applications menu and select TOMTOM and then while using that I miskey and it takes me to the media menu. without having to go back through the menu options and into applications to select TOMTOM again, is there an easy keystoke to cycle through running applications.

I guess it the same as if i was using windows I would just ALT-TAB to reselect the window to the foreground.

I tried loading a task manager, but that itself is just another running application that is buried by native options.

I have scoured the manual, but can't find the answer ?

regards

Justin.

If you hold the menu key for around 2secs you can cycle through running applications.

FYI holding the multimedia button will start the music player.

also once u get the list of apps running, after holding the "menu" key down for 2 sec as stated by androo87. If you highlight one of the apps running, and press "C" this will close it.
