Touch screen tips
With the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:
Tap - A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold -
Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens. Drag - Touch and hold an item for a moment
and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen
to reposition them. Swipe or slide -
To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to
right (and vice versa).
Double-tap - Double-tap to zoom on a Web page or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a Web page to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap
