Touchscreen Navigation

Your phone's touchscreen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.
Touch
Touch once with your finger to select or launch a menu, option, or application. A light touch
works best.
Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, options for a contact), touch and hold
the item.
Drag
Touch and hold your finger before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Slide or Flick
To slide, quickly move your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. To flick, move
your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than sliding.
Pinch and Spread
Pinch the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out or spread the screen to zoom in
when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and outward to zoom
in.)
Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways
to bring up a bigger keyboard. See Touchscreen Keyboard for more details.
Note: The Auto-rotate screen check box in Home > Menu > System settings >
Display needs to be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change.

Your Home Screen

The Home screen is the starting point for your phone's applications, functions, and menus. You
can customize your Home screen by adding application icons, shortcuts, folders, widgets, and
more. Your Home screen extends beyond the initial screen. Swipe the screen left or right to
display additional screens.
