The Home screen
After the first start process is completed, your smartphone
will display the Home screen. This screen gives you quick,
icon-based access to many of the frequently-used features
of your smartphone.
The Home screen already features some useful icons and
widgets. The Search widget is at the top of the screen, and
a selection of icons in the middle.
At the bottom of the screen is the Applications tab which
lists all the applications you have installed. Drag the tab up
the screen, or tap the tab, to open the Applications menu.
Tap an icon to open the application.
Multitasking
You can have multiple applications open at the same time. To open a new
application, press the Home button to return to the Home screen, then start the
new application.
To view your active applications, press and hold the Home button. Then tap an
icon to go to the application.
Tip: To prolong battery life, it is better to close an application when you've finished
using it. Do this by either pressing the Back key or the Menu button and selecting Exit
(if available).
The extended Home screen
The Home screen extends to either side of the screen, giving you more room to
add icons, widgets or features. To view the extended Home screens drag the
screen to the left or right. A total of five pages are available, two to the left and
two to the right. To change or add widgets on any of the screens see
"Personalizing the Home screen" on page 15.
