with the additional features available through the menus in various
applications.

• Drag down from the upper-left corner of the phone (above the

arrow , tap the item to open a submenu of options for that item—
for example, tap the Edit menu item to open a submenu containing
Cut, Copy, and Paste options. If the menu displays a
downward-pointing arrow at the bottom, it means that more
options are available. Scroll the menu to see the additional options.

application keywords). As you type, search displays any contact names

can also tap Add Reminder to add a reminder message to the
contact (see Assign a reminder message to a contact).
