Charging the battery
Your phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. It may take a few minutes before the battery icon
appears on the screen when you connect the phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone changer. You can still use your phone while it is charging.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.

The Application screen gives you quick access to applications in your phone. You can also customise this screen. Remember that the Application screen extends beyond the regular screen dimensions, so you might have to flick left or right to see everything.
