Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control ac-
tions through a variety of touch gestures.
• Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen
keyboard, select items onscreen such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply touch them with
your nger.
• Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item
(for example, a message or link in a Web
page), touch and hold the item.
• Swipe or Slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag
your nger vertically or horizontally across
the screen.
• Drag
To drag, press and hold your finger with
some pressure before you start to move
your nger. While dragging, do not release
your nger until you have reached the tar-
get position.
• Pinch
In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and
Gallery), you can zoom in and out by plac-
ing two ngers on the screen at once and
pinching them together (to zoom out) or
spreading them apart (to zoom in).
