32 Getting Started1.5 Navigating Your DeviceThere are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.Finger-touch controlA quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:Touch or tapWhen selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.SwipeTo swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:Flipping on the Home screenSwipe your finger vertically to flip through favourite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.ScrollingWhen browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.••
Getting Started 33SlideSliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to 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.The following are some instances when you would use sliding:Switching between Home screen tabsSlide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs.
