Touchscreen Gestures
Tap You can select on-screen items such as
application icons or settings buttons by
touching them with your finger.
Tap and Hold Touch and hold your finger over the item to
open its options.
Swipe or Slide Drag your finger horizontally or vertically
across the screen.
Drag Tap and hold your finger before you begin to
drag and hold your finger down until the item
reaches your desired location.
Flick Swiping the screen is similar to flicking, but
you need to swipe it with lighter and quicker
strokes instead.
Finger gestures are always vertical. For
example, flicking through contacts or
messages.
Rotate You can change the orientation of most
screens from portrait to landscape simply by
turning the phone sideways. Turning the phone
sideways will bring up a larger on-screen
keyboard.
