Touch Screen tips

With the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make
menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following
terms are used for describing the different available actions using the
touchscreen:
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters
on the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it
and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a
contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list
until the context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting
your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target
position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the
surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don't
drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down
to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by
swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when
using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or
spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps,
Camera or browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation
of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
