Me neither. I had no idea that pressing the power button when in the menu had any effect... I just never did it. How embarrassing! Making fun of a new user who doesn't know how to do it my way... and not knowing the power button thing myself. :D

And don't forget Ctrl + backspace if you've got the keyboard available.

just backspace does it for me, no need for control, like microB.

Oh. Then Ctrl is only needed while you're in an application. Good to know.

EDIT: Just tried it on my N900, only backspace does not work for me.

Tapping the available application screen at the outside (left, top, right, bottom) will switch back to the desktop.

If you are in available application screen two (you pressed the More... icon), tapping the screen left, top, right or bottom will take you back to the first application screen. Another tap, and you are back at the desktop.
OMG, you're an absolute genius! Now I don't have to powercycle the phone every time to get back to the desktop. Do you have any more mindblazing tips and tricks?

I pressed the power button and then clicked outside the options

Same, also that CRTL+Backspace switches to open windows. Lol.

Another MAGICAL tip:
If you press twice the power button you can lock the screen!!!
