How do you get the option to bring up favorites?
I only see phone as a close option...

yeah, thats the only option. But it goes back to wherever you left off last so if you only use favorites it will usually go to favorites...

I have mine go to phone whenever I do a long hold on home button. Works great! That was one of my big pet peeves when 4.0 came out..
