1.5 Getting Around Your Phone
There are different ways to navigate around the Home screen, menus and application screens on your
phone. You can also change the screen orientation of the phone.
Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items onscreen such as application and
settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger.
Touch and hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, contact or link in a webpage), simply touch
and hold the item.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag
Touch 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.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker
strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or
message list.
Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by
turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger
keyboard. Refer to “Using the landscape onscreen keyboard” on page 31 for more details.
Note The Orientation check box in HOME > MENU > Settings > Sound & display needs to be selected
for the screen orientation to automatically change.
Use the Trackball
Roll or press the TRACKBALL to select or highlight items on the screen. The TRACKBALL also flashes
when you receive an incoming call or a notification.
