Finger gestures

Tap	When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen
	such as application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons,
	simply tap them with your finger.
Press and hold	To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web
	page), simply press and hold the item.
Swipe or slide	To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or
	horizontally across the screen or optical trackball.
Drag	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.
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.
Pinch	In some applications, like Gallery or the web browser, you can “pinch”
	the screen using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to
	zoom in or zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.
