<p>Mobile device users can use the Menu to access applications. Pressing the

Home / Menu key opens the Menu, where the user may browse and select an application.

The Menu was previously called <i>Application Shell</i> and the Home / Menu

key was called <i>Applications key</i>. In addition to direct access to applications,

related applications can be collected in folders.</p>

<p>Applications are presented as a grid of items by default. User can select

a customized version of the Menu layout, such as a list. The default grid

layout is 3 x 4 (portrait) or 4 x 3 (landscape), that is 12 icons. Pressing

the Selection key opens an application and closes the Menu.</p>
