22 Getting started

Finger gestures

Tap When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen

such as application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons,

simply tap them with your finger.

Press and hold To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web

page), simply press and hold the item.

Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or

horizontally across the screen or optical trackball.

Drag 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.

Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe

your finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a

vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen

orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways.

When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a

bigger keyboard.

Pinch In some applications, like Gallery or the web browser, you can “pinch”

the screen using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to

zoom in or zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.
