email accounts, and many other types of apps.

the screen.
Removing a Widget

2. Touch and hold the desired widget, and then drag it to the Remove icon. As you drop
the widget into the Trash, both items turn red.

Extended Home Screens

In addition to the main home screen, your phone has six extended home screens to provide
more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. Touch and hold the icon or widget and then
drag across the screen to move from the main screen to an extended screen.
