Hi All,

I'm _sure_ there's a way to do this (I have an Orange M3100 WM5.0 device) but I've just not figured it yet. How can I switch (quickly) between applications on this device (i.e. alt+tab). I know I can go to Settings | System | Memory | Running Programs, select the application I'm interested in and click Activate -- but this takes longer than the key sequence to restart the app again! There must be a way to tie application switching to a hardkey or soooooomething... I'm currenly finding it _very_ hard work to repeatedly refer to an open PDF (say) whilst writing a word document (say) so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!

Downloaded 'Swtich'. Works like a dream when a hard-key's tied to it. Would recommend to anyone with similar requirement.

Cheers,
