Your Home screen
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
to zoom in and out when taking
a picture (using the Camera), and
when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom -
Use your index
finger and thumb in a pinch or
spread motion to zoom in or out
when using the browser, Maps, or
browsing pictures. You can also
double-tap to zoom in and out
when taking a picture (using the
Camera).

this sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the
touch keypad by sensing when
the phone is near your ear. This

the touch keypad from activating
unintentionally during calls.
Page 28
26
