Just one level deep, though. When I tested before making my comment, I clicked on the Today icon in Settings and was not able to escape out using the end key. I think that is because once you get into an applet that can change settings, the applet wants you to commit or discard changes before normal navigation is allowed. I think that avoids some confusion that could occur if you change a setting and exit without hitting OK to save the change.
Sometimes the End button turns my data connection from white to gray - any idea what that means?
When you have a data connection actively connected, and you have it selected and you press the end button, it stops the data connection and makes it dormant. This is why it turns gray, the data connection goes to sleep (dormant) on the press of the End Button.
To test this. On the today screen when you see an active connection, press end, it will make the connection dormant.

Sleeve,
I went to the Settings \ Today screen and hit the side Windows button twice and I was taken directly home. I tried with the side OK button and it only closed each level one at a time.
Thanks for the tip. I will use the Windows button often,

I've done that, I just wasn't sure what the effective result was, since it didn't actually disconnect me. So, if I'm using Sling and I hit the end key, it would stop the stream.
Not sure I understand the point of it, but this wouldn't be the first time!
The call end button also takes you to the today screen
On page 8 of the official manual, it says that you can access the today screen from anywhere by pushing the call end button. I tried it a couple of times from different applications, and it seems to work. I found the "hit the windows button twice" approach a bit fussy, but this is probably just a matter of taste. So now we have two quick ways to do it!

Thanks - but that's mentioned in post #4. The caveat with the End button is that it also cuts off your data connection (i.e., makes it dormant). If you are downloading a file or connected to streaming radio, it's going to stop when you press the End key.
