Navigating Through the Screens

The following terms describe the most common hardware and onscreen actions.

Press and hold Tap Touch and hold

•Press and hold: Pressing relates to use of the hardware keys and

buttons to select or activate an item. For example: press the Navigation key to scroll through a menu. Some buttons and keys require you to press and hold them to activate a feature, for example, you press the Lock key to lock and unlock the phone.

•Tap: Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to enter text on

the virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example: touch an Application icon to open the application. A light touch works best.

•Touch and hold: Touch and hold an icon or key to open the available

options, or to access a pop-up menu. For example: press and hold from the Home screen to access a menu of customization options.

•Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a message list.

•Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. This allows you to move the area of focus or to scroll through a list. For example: slide your finger left or right on the Home screen to scroll among the seven panels.

•Drag: Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
