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

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

I have searched in the N900 documentation and on the web, yet, I have not found a description for this neat way to switch application menu screens.
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.

I first discovered this about a day after I got the device when I un-accurately tried to press more and missed, lol

Another MAGICAL tip:
