Pressing the POWER button again, removing the stylus, or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.

1.5  Navigating on Your Device

There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.

Finger-touch control

A quick and easy way to interact with the Today screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the Start menu, programs 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.

Finger zooming and panning

In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.

Scrolling

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, and documents, slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll. The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it.

For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3. .
