Quick Launch

Maybe I am simply just a little slow at times, but I think it has more to do with me not reading the manual :)

There is a nice little configurable application called "Quick Launch" on your phone. You won't find its link under the Start menu if you look for it. To use this application you have to press and hold the thumbwheel on the right side of the phone for about a second or two.

Up will pop a window on the right-hand side of the screen that you can scroll through. These of course are links to applications. One of the first things I did was go to Edit, and then under Menu I went to Options and changed the view to "List View". The reason I did this was because the icons are not always different. For example, if you have links to 2 different folders, then you will have 2 folder icons which are indistinguishable. By using "List View" you at least see some text.

Quick Launch will definitely save you some time by not having to hunt through your Start menu if you place your favorite links here. I should also mention that the links do not simply have to be to applications but URLs, Folders, and Files are acceptable as well.
