Moving around on your smartphone

Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your smartphone is similar. Most Palm OS® applications use the same set of controls. So once you learn how to use these controls on your Palm® Treo™ 755P smartphone, you’ll be driving all over town and you won’t even need a map.

Benefits

•Find and open applications quickly

•Access extra features with menus

•Move around in applications with one hand, using the 5-way navigator

•Access many more characters and symbols than are displayed on the keyboard
