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.
Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your
finger vertically or horizontally
across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your finger with
some pressure before you start to move it.
Do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Rotate: Automatically change the
screen orientation from portrait
to landscape by turning the
phone sideways.
Pinch: "Pinch" the
screen using your
thumb and forefinger to
zoom out or zoom in
when viewing a picture
or a Web page. (Move
fingers inward to zoom
out and outward to
zoom in.)
Trackball: Press or roll
the trackball to select
or highlight items on
the screen.
