Section 8: Applications

This section contains a description of each application that is
available on the Apps screen, its function, and how to
navigate through that particular application. If the application
is described in another section of this user manual, then a
cross reference to that description is provided.

Managing Applications

The Apps screen displays all applications installed on your
phone, including apps you download and install.
From Apps, you can change the way apps appear on the
screen, uninstall apps you have downloaded, and share apps
with friends. When you install new apps, new screens are
added to hold them.
Tip: To open applications quickly, add the icons of frequently-
used applications to one of the Home screens, if it is not
there by default. For details, see "Customizing Your Home
Screen" on page 30.
