Switching Applications

Hi,

I have a 6500 slide and I want to switch applications. At the moment
if I have, for example, the music player running then I can send it to
the background so that I can use other functions of the phone but then
I cannot bring it to the foreground again without finding the
application and re-launching it.

On a previous Nokia I just held down a button for a moment and a list
appeared showing the active applications, then I just moved up or down
the list to the one I wanted.

To put it another way..... What am trying to do is the same as
using Alt-Tab in Windows or OSX

This has cropped up because I have loaded Google mail and I want to
leave it open all the time, however I also need to use the thing as a
phone! So I need to be able to send Google mail to the background.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Regards
James

Hold down the button that takes you to the settings etc menu.
