This finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as
when flicking through contacts or a message list.

scroll through a list. For example: slide your finger left or right on
the Home screen to scroll among the seven panels.

start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached

keyboard, or when viewing web content to minimize scrolling.
