Change the menu on your Nokia 6210 Navigator now!

Changing the menu on Nokia 6210 Navigator is crucial for the power user.

The power user explores new applications and finds ones that work for them. For myself, I probably have around 30 applications loaded onto my phone - and that's on top of ones that are built into the phone.

The problem is that when you have that many apps you will necessarily end up navigating the deep menu system on a daily basis just to start your app that you need to run at that moment.

No longer is that necessary.

Your first step is to clear out the first level of the menu system of all the crud items that you do not need on a daily basis. For example after several months do you ever want to change your settings? No, then create a folder (aka sub-menu), perhaps called OtherItems and move then move Settings to that folder. After that move any other items that you do not use regularly, again to the same folder. For instance my provider is Vodafone and they shove this pricey app at you to find businesses local to you. Well I will use that app once in a blue moon, given that it costs me more money to use it. So off it goes and is moved to OtherItems.

Now that your top-level menu is cleared out your next task is to populate it with your favourite apps. These are buried two levels deep in "Applications, My Own". So move your favourite apps right to the top level, otherwise known as root.

So what we have now is a useful set of apps at your top level, the final bit is for you to know each application's menu number. And this is the sweet bit.

If your application is listed as menu item no 3, to activate it simple press your menu button and the press 3. Yes, will activate it. Snappy, easy & reliably.

Now all your favourite apps are readily available in two key clicks.

Of course you can move your apps around in the root folder so that their numbers are useful to you. Finally if you end up with more than 9 apps you will have to use 3 keyclicks by keying to get the 3rd application.
