Nokia Series 60 manual Application shell

Page 68

The softkeys can be configured by the user to access various applications.

Scroll up, scroll down: open the Phonebook.

Scroll left, scroll right: unassigned by default, may be assigned by the user.

Select key: ignored.

Numeric keys can be used to dial a phone number manually; a press of a numeric key opens a number entry window. A long key press in idle is used for one-key calling to the number assigned to the key.

A short key press of the Power key opens a list of Profiles for switching the active profile.

Applications key enters the Application shell, as usual.

The user may have a possibility to set any image as background ‘wallpaper’ in idle.

It is also possible to have a ‘screen saver’ application that may use the whole screen while the device is not used. It should be noticed, however, that soft notifications and other indications on screen would not be visible during this kind of application.

Application shell

The Application shell is the menu used for accessing all applications. Pressing the Application key opens the Application shell, where the user may browse and select an application. Applications are presented as a grid of items by default; the user can also choose to use a list presentation. Pressing the Select key opens an application and closes the Application shell. Refer to the Application handling section for detailed information about opening and closing applications.
