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.
Swipe
To 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 screen
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts,
messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information,
see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
When 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.
Slide
Sliding 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 tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen
tabs. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home
screen“ in Chapter 3.
