Mouse-shy Mac users have been enjoying an app called Quicksilver, which allows fast access to applications and files via the keyboard and has become something of a cult among productivity geeks.
SkyeQuikKey from SkyeStream is a reasonable stab at a Symbian 60 3rdEdition version of the same idea.
Once installed, your standby screen will accept text input as well as dialed numbers. To find an app, browser bookmark or contact, just enter the first couple of letters of its name and SkyeQuikKey will bring up a list of matching items. Scroll down the list with the joystick and use the soft keys to perform appropriate actions like run, call or create an SMS.
How useful you find this will depend on how you use your phone - if you have a lot of apps or contacts and are quick with your thumbs you might find it a real time saver but if you are a more casual user it will more than likely just get in the way.
SkyeQuikKey costs around a tenner, but the developers have generously provided an entire day’s worth of free trial - available here.
