When I first started using my G1 phone, I felt sluggish. I wasn’t able to switch programs as quickly as I could on my Sidekick. But once I figured out the G1 shortcuts, switching programs was a lot faster. To move between applications quickly, press and hold the “Search” button and then press the appropriate a letter to activate a shortcut.
Shortcut list…
B = Web Browser
C = Contacts
E = Email
G = Google Mail
I = Instant Messanger (AIM, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!)
K = Calendar
M = Maps
P = Music Player
S = Text Messaging
Y = YouTube
