.5 Navigating Your Phone

There are different ways of getting around your Home screen, menus and
application screens on your phone.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the Home screen and the whole interface
of your T-Mobile G is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions,
called finger gestures, you would do when interacting with your T-Mobile G:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as in the Applications tab, application
and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger.
Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On
screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by
tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
Opening the Extended Home screens

Swipe your finger horizontally to open the Extended Home screens. For more
information, see "Home Screen" in this chapter.
Scrolling

To scroll up or down in a list or page on the screen, slide your finger up or down
on the screen. With repeated short, quick brushing gestures, you can accelerate the
scroll. Tap your finger to stop the scrolling.
