“Changing Your Settings” on page 52.
Using the Multitasking Menu
This key ( ) launches the Multitask menu that can be
activated from within any active window or page on the phone.
There is no need to stop what you are doing to activate another
common feature.
You can temporarily exit from your current location to access a
group of common functions such as: Call, Messaging, Mobile
Web, Music Player, Games, and End all. It is not necessary to
completely exit from your current task or window, whether that
be a text message, a web page, or an active call, just to quickly
do something else.
Here is an example:
You might be in the middle of typing up an email or text message,
when you suddenly realize that you need to make a quick call.
Typically, you would have to exit from your current message,
navigate to the Idle screen, make your call (page 31), after which
you would have to go back and re-create your message.
Using this same situation, all you would have to do is:
1. Press until the you see the Multitask menu screen.
2. Touch Call, then enter your number and continue the call.
3. Once you are done, hang up the call normally and you are
returned to the previous message screen.
