Touch screen tips
With the tap of your finger, you can access
available applications, make menu selections, and
access data saved to your phone. The following
terms are used for describing the different
available actions using the touchscreen:
Tap -
A single finger tap selects items, links,
shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold -
Touch and hold an item on
the screen by touching it and not lifting your
finger until an action occurs. For example, to
open a contact's available options, touch and
hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
Drag -
Touch and hold an item for a moment
and then, without lifting your finger, move your
finger on the screen until you reach the target
position. You can drag items on the Home screen
to reposition them.
Swipe or slide -
To swipe or slide, quickly
move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first tap
it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For
example, you can slide the screen up or down
to scroll through a list, or browse through the
different Home screens by swiping from left to
right (and vice versa).
Double-tap -
Double-tap to zoom on a Web
page or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a
section of a Web page to adjust that section to fit
the width of the screen. You can also double-tap

thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom in
or out when using the browser, Maps, Camera,

and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts
to the device's physical orientation.

you want. Be careful not to tap any other
keys or icons.
