That menu bar is essential because it displays the soft key functions
in all operation screens as well as indicating availability of the
menu key function. Are you aware that you can change the two home
screen soft key functions and the icon/function selections that are
activated by the four cursor keys?
While in the home screen, hit the Menu key (top center), then select:
Settings/Personalize/Home Screen/Home Keys
In that list you will find settings for all of the four cursor keys
and the two soft keys. All of those can be customized.
For example, my home screen soft keys are set to Date Book (left soft
key) and Alarm Clock (right soft key). I have the four cursor keys set
to Phone Book, Messaging, Settings, and Tools. I dumped the Camera
soft key because there is already a Camera key on the side of the
phone.
