0.1 Finger gestures
Tap
When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as
application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with
your finger.
Press and hold
To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web page),
simply press and hold the item.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or
horizontally across the screen or optical trackball.
Drag
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.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your
finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical
direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.
