and on-screen actions.
•
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: tap 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.
