PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Hi-Mobile.net sent us over for a review the first ever phone that ships with UIQ 3.0: the Sony Ericsson M600i. This 3G SymbianOS 9.1 smartphone is one of the most popular this summer (selling at below 375 USD) and so we decided to give it a whirl too. Read on for more info, pictures, screenshots and a video of the device, the P990's little brother.

Shutting down applications

If the device needs memory it will shut down apps that are in the background automatically. There really isn't much need to turn applications off, other than that "we" are used to it from desktop environments.

I am not sure I trust this system. You see, if I am on Opera and I need 11-14 MBs of RAM to render a complex page, I am not sure that the system will close down the right apps for me.

AFAIK (I heard stories from other developers): Symbian or UIQ maintains a list of critical apps that should not be terminated - things like phone dialler etc. A 3rd party app can add themselves to this list, but generally shouldn't... anyway if it does shutdown apps it'll shut down all but those on the list.
