Switching between apps

[ryans79]

Hi!

Is there a way to switch between apps?

This is what i am trying, i am installing an app but its taking ages to decompress, and the screen locks up (its set to lock in 3 minutes), but if i press the home button and go into settings->general->(etc) and change the setting to 5 mins or 'never' then i come back to installing the app... it starts up from the beginning

on my nokia 5800 i just press and hold the home button and i can switch between open applications, but i cant seem to do that here

Am on a 3Gs running 3.0 (jailbroken)

By decompressing do you mean installing apps from installous? And just tap the screen every once and a while to make sure the screen doesn't dim or turn off. I find this a lot easier then having it set to turn off in 5 min.

Thats what i did in the end, but for a 1.7gb file, it sure took its time.

For all the raving of the iphone, i really prefer my nokia 5800 in many aspects, some thins on the nokia are just more user friendly and easier/more logical to do and use.
