On your home screen, shortcuts are icons that open
your favorite apps, Web bookmarks, contacts, mail
labels, or music playlists. Widgets show you news,
weather, messages, and other updates.
Flick the home screen left or right to open other panels
of shortcuts and widgets.
• To open something, touch it. Press Home to
return to the home screen.
• To change a widget’s settings, open it and then
press Menu >
Setup.
You can find details about the settings for
Happenings (“Add account” on page 10), Messages
(“Set up messaging” on page 19),
Music (“Music”
on page 31),
Social Status (“Update your status” on
page 10), or
News or Weather (“Set up widgets” on
page 26).
• To add something or change your wallpaper, touch
and hold an empty spot until you see the
Add to
Home screen
menu.
You can add a folder to organize your shortcuts.
• To move or delete something, touch and hold it
until you feel a vibration, then drag it to another
spot, another panel, or the trash at the bottom of
the screen.
