*Quick Launch
Quick Launch can display no more than five icons. By default it displays, from left to right, Phone, Contacts, Email, Calendar, and the Launcher. You can change the order of icons (except the Launcher icon) in Quick Launch (see Reorder Quick Launch icons), or swap in whatever applications you like (see Line up your favorite applications in Quick Launch).
NOTE If you have a notification or the dashboard is open (see View and work with notifications), you need to dismiss the open item to access Quick Launch.
When you’re in an app, make the following gesture to display Quick Launch and open one of its applications.
1Drag up slowly from the gesture area to the screen.
NOTE Don’t confuse this “drag up” with the up gesture, which is a quick flick up from the gesture area to the screen.
Go up one level in an app (back gesture)
The back gesture takes you up one level from a detailed level to a more general view of the application you’re working in. For example, when you finish reading an email message, make the back gesture to close the message and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish writing a memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to the display of all your memos. When you make the back gesture in an application and that’s the only screen of that app that’s open, you minimize the app and go back to Card view.
To make the back gesture, swipe right to left anywhere in the gesture area.
