Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu,
programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on
the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip.
On screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item
by tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
• Flipping on the Home screen
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music
albums, photos, and more. For more information, see "Using the TouchFLO
Home Screen" in Chapter .
• Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain
selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly
swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll
by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
For detailed instructions, see "Finger scrolling" in Chapter .
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need
to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
• Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For
