Shutting down applications — Sony Ericsson P800, P900 and P910

Why is there no option for exiting application on the applications themselves. The only way I know of is to use filemanager to end the tasks. It would be nice if eack application had an exit button on the top menu. Is there any reason why this is not included.

Quite often software such as men in black wont run because of a lack of memory, so I have to open file manager and close apps down to run the game. What if I did not have file manager installed, would I have to restart the phone. It just seems strange that there is no way of shutting apps down built into the phone. Or is there, but I have just missed it ?

I doubt there is one inbuilt, same problem with most PDAs..

don't think there is such an option. even the sdk says that the standard design for apps is NOT TO INCLUDE A CLOSE option unless it is a debug version. i can only think that the program's will start up faster (because u're not starting but just switching to it) when you choose it from the app picker.

i *vaguely* remember somewhere that your program should handle the exit command though because the OS might send that to the program for a number of reasons (not enough RAM, phone shutting down etc).
