Understanding Your Device 68
•
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.
