to recently used applications, or select
Main menu and
open a new application from there. You can also switch
directly to any ongoing call. To switch to an application
in the list, tap it or highlight it and select
Switch. These
options are also available with the flip closed.
With the flip open, you can also access some advanced
features on the
Open tab. This tab contains a list of all
running applications, as well as those that are closed but
still reserve memory. Highlight an application and select
End to end the application and free up all the memory
used by it. From the Task manager menu, you can sort
the applications in the list by time, size or name.
