The slow response of launching applications is one of the major complaints among Series 60 device users. As most users have several frequently used applications, a neat trick is to keep those applications running in the background all the time, thereby saving on startup and shutdown time.
The background applications are possible only with the multitasking Symbian operating system. This feature is not available on Series 40 devices.
You can place a running Series 60 application in the background by pressing the red "End call" key (the key with the red telephone symbol) while the application is running. The next time you open the same application, it will pop up instantly and appear in the state exactly as you left it.
You can see a list of background applications by pressing and holding the Menu key. You can select any application from the list and bring it to the foreground. If you press the c key while you are scrolling through the list, you can force the background program to exit.
