My E61i Active Standby Screen

What does your active standby screen look like? Mine has gone through countless versions, since I really try to optimize the shortcuts and standby apps to match my usage pattern. I’m pretty happy with my current configuration, which I’ve been using for almost 2months now. It looks like this:

My one-click applications include:
1. Music Player - since I always listen to music when I’m on the go
2. Gallery – to show off videos and pics on my phone
3. New SMS – this is the core function of a mobile phone for me

*note: the soft-keys also give me one-click access to my calendar, contacts & email applications in case you are wondering why they’re not available in my active standby.

Secondary applications that are two-clicks away include:
1. Calcium - calculator for quick/urgent computations (like splitting resto bills, hehe)
2. Clock – since I program my alarm every day
3. Calendar – to remind me of my agenda daily
4. Wlan Scanner – so I can quickly check if WiFi is available nearby

Next would be the three-click apps:

1. Camera – I’m no paparazzi, so I don’t need this to be a 1-click app like others
2. File Manager – I really get O.C. sometimes, so I organize files always
3. SMS Inbox – This is actually more important for me than the calendar, and I don’t understand why the E61i firmware update suddenly exchanged their locations as active standby plugins! I guess I have to live with this now. Haaay.

Last 2 apps include Active Notes & the Web Browser (4 clicks away). I used to have Opera Mini as the active standby app, but the icon was really ugly and it was an eyesore on my standby screen, hehe. I switched it back to the built-in browser instead.

What about you, what does your Active Standby screen look like?
