Desert Island Desktops - James Whatley

Ewan starts a new series of personal articles looking at how different people set up their S60 smartphones. Specifically, looking at what's on their active standby ('Home') screen. He kicks off with mobile cyber celeb James Whatley. You can comment on James' choices below, or indeed on the article series as a whole.

Read on in the full article.

I love this idea. I would really enjoy seeing how others configure a given device. Will more developers use active standby plugins in the future?

i don't know about the n95 but on the n82 a long press of the 0 button launches the web browser,
also if you install jbak taskman you can have an additional 8 or more shortcuts at the pres of a button.

A long press of 0 on any Nokia phone launches the web browser, even on Series 40 models. I think that's why they've all got that blue "i" logo.

Why do you need 'profiles' in the left soft key when its so easily accessible from the power key.
Also, does the long press of the # key on the home screen still change the profile to silent on phones without pencil key ?

All the same

It will be interesting to see if there is any significant variation to this. I have almost exactly the same set up.

It depends on the phone, some models (for example the E51) have very awkward-to-press power buttons.
