Creating Shortcuts
Shortcuts are different from the Home screen Widgets. Shortcuts can access a specific contact,
activate a feature, action, or launch an application.
To add a shortcut from the Application tab:
1. Tap
to access the Home screen.
2. Select a location (screen) for your new shortcut by scrolling across your available
screens until you reach the desired one. (See
Home Screen Overview
.)
3. Tap
to reveal all your current applications. By default, the applications are listed in
a grid view.
4. Scroll down through the list and locate your desired application.
5. Touch and hold the on-screen icon. This creates an immediate shortcut of the selected
icon and closes the Applications screen. The new shortcut then appears to hover over
the Home screen.
Note
: The same shortcut can be added to any of the available screens (Home or Extended).
The application you add to the screen will still appear within the Applications screen.
6. While holding the on-screen icon, position it on the current screen. Once complete,
release the screen to lock the shortcut into its new position.
To add a shortcut via the Home screen:
1. Tap
to access the Home screen.
2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.
