because auf Jey Hans description I am quite sure, he mean the
menu-button. On the N800 there are 3 buttons, on the N810 only one (the
menu key)

@Jey Han: which device do you use?

I would discourage the menu-key as an exit key. I think consistency is
an important thing and the users wouldn't be too much confused. You
could open a menu with the menu-key, where the user could choose
exit/quit. An other interesting strategy could be the one of the
preinstalled games, which freeze the application, when it's leave
fullscreen and offer there buttons for quit and resume.

Regards,

Keywan
