Getting Around Your Device

Move Around Your Device's Menus
and Screens
Tap: When you want to type using the
onscreen keyboard, select items such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply tap them with
your finger. A light touch works best.
Press and hold: To open the available
options for an item (for example, a link
in a Web page), simply press and hold
the item.
Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker
strokes than swiping. This finger gesture
is always used in a vertical motion, such
as when flicking through contacts or a
message list.

orientation from portrait to landscape by

and forefinger to zoom out or zoom in when
