favorite applications, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they're always just a tap away.

Finger gestures

Tap When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such
as application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap
them with your finger.
Press and To open the available options for an item (for example, a contact or
hold link in a webpage), simply press and hold the item.
Swipe or To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or
slide horizontally across the screen.
Drag 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.
Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe
your finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a
vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.
Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation
from portrait to landscape by turning HTC Desire C sideways. When
entering text, you can turn HTC Desire C sideways to bring up a bigger
keyboard.
Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can "pinch" the
screen using two fingers (for example, thumb and index finger) to
zoom in or zoom out when viewing a picture or a webpage.
Two-finger In some apps that have sorting, like Mail or People, you can use two
scrolling fingers to scroll the screen. The screen displays the sorting order, and
you can easily scroll to the information you want.
