Navigating Through the Screens

buttons to select or activate an item. Some buttons and keys require you
to press and hold them to perform a function, for example, you press
and hold the Lock key to turn the phone on and off.

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

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

Drag

horizontally across the screen. Do not release your finger until you have

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.

Flick

finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as when flicking
through contacts or a message list.
