Abstract
A portable electronic device and a method for accessing information in the electronic device, which includes a display and a graphical user interface for presentation of information on the display. The electronic device comprises a set of information items presentable in an item list on the display, such as a menu list, which set includes a first subset and a second subset. A user input interface is operable to select list items for activation, and a control unit is configured to present only the first subset responsive to a command on the user input interface to present the item list. The list is typically a vertical list which is longer than the display, and the first subset is a number of most important items within the list. Moving a highlight beyond an endpoint item of the first subset may trigger the control unit to unfold the full list. The list may be a menu in which the first subset contains the most frequently used items, or the list may be a text of which the first subset is an abstract or an introduction.
