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:

•Flipping on the Home screen

Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.

•Scrolling

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), 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.

Slide

Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

The following are some instances when you would use sliding:

•Switching between Home screen tabs

Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
