Navigating around the screen

To navigate around the smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator or you can tap items on the screen with the stylus. As you become familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.

Using the 5-way, press Right , Left , Up , or Down to move around the screen. Press Center to highlight and select items.

TIP Some third-party applications may not work with the 5-way navigator, and you must use the stylus instead.

DID YOU KNOW? Custom navigation features are available when you browse the web using Internet Explorer Mobile (see Viewing a web page).

TIP The arrow icons used in this guide to indicate directions on the 5-way are different from the onscreen scroll arrows and the arrows that indicate that a list is available (see Selecting options in a list).
