Hi all!
Is there a way to force quit an application on a 6260? It seems like a
lot of applications I install have the phone crashing, and it seems the
only way is to shut and reboot the phone...

Every S60 apps has an exit-function.
Sometimes it's the right softkey, but normally it is found in the bottom the
menu that opens, when you press the left softkey.

Well I'm looking for a function that quits when nothing else works
(menus and so on). Hence the "force" quit...

I misunderstood your question... :)
Maybe because I've met quite a few people that didn't know that the apps on
Symbian phones don't close when use press the menu button.

A new taskmanager, as Daniel also mention, should then be what you need.

I've used one, I think it's simply called "TaskSwitcher".
With that one you can also see what symbian server are currently running.

alternatively,
try just holding down the menu button, selecting the app and then pressing C

Yes.  This is the way to force an app to exit on any Symbian (or at least
Nokia S60) phone.  Hit task-switch (menu) button, select the app you wish to
kill and hit the delete ('c') button.
