Double Tap the Home Button Options

The default setting for when you double-click the Home button is to start up Voice
Command, but you can adjust this behavior in your settings. Follow these steps to do so:
1. Tap your Settings icon.
2. Tap Applications.
3. Tap Double tap home launch.
4. Select from any of the available
options.
Note that this list is longer than the
screen, so scroll up and down to see all
the options available.
You can choose from Browser,
Camera, Contacts, Dialer, Gmail,
Maps, Messaging, Music, News,
Social Networking, Text Messaging,
Voice Command, and Voice Search.
NOTE: Double tap home launch is not
available on the original DROID.

Pressing and Holding to Type Symbols (and More)

You might wonder how you type symbols that
aren't shown on the standard keyboard.
TIP: You can type more symbols than are shown
on the screen.
To do so, simply press and hold a letter,
number, or symbol that is related to the
symbol you want. If you see three dots (...) in
the lower-left corner of a letter, that's your tip
that pressing and holding that letter will show
you more character options (see the figure
showing the letter "E" to the right).
