Quickly launching mobile java apps

[ianbolland]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any way to get a phone to fire off a java app within a button click or two. None of the phones I have played with seem to be able to start anything without going all the way to the java application menu in the phone.

The reason is the application in question needs to be fired up briefly many times a day and for this to be useful the process needs to be quick and easy for the user. The ideal would be to fire up the app, when the number 5 is held down for a few seconds - are there any phones that have this or similar capability? Has anyone got any suggestions?

I eventually did this my writing a c++ applicaiton to listen for the hotkey and fire off the midlet when it was pressed.
