entering text, you can turn your phone sideways to bring up a bigger
onscreen keyboard.

screen using two fingers (for example, thumb and index finger) to zoom
in or zoom out when viewing a picture or web page.
Setting up your phone for the first time
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you'll be asked to set it up. Just
follow the onscreen instructions and you'll be up and running in no time.
