When  you want to  type  using  the  keyboard,  select  items  on-screen  such  as
application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your
finger.

press and hold the item.

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.

light,  quicker  strokes.  This  finger  gesture  is  always  in  a  vertical  direction,  such  as
when flicking the contacts or message list.

to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the
phone  sideways  to  bring  up  a  bigger  keyboard.  Refer  to  the  Settings  chapter  for
more details.

Pinch

using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out when
viewing a picture or a web page.
