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.
Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from
portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you
can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard. Refer to the
Settings chapter for more details.
Pinch
For some applications, like Photos or the web browser, you can “pinch” the
screen using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or
zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.
0.2 The SIM Card
0.2.1 Installing the SIM card
If you are given a SIM card to install, install it before setting up your
phone.
IMPORTANT: A SIM card is required to use cellular services when
connecting to GSM networks and some CDMA networks. Your phone that has
been activated on a CDMA wireless network may also use a SIM card for
connecting to a GSM network, primarily for international roaming. Your
phone is subject to your wireless service provider’s policies, which may
include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after
conclusion of any required minimum service contract. Contact your wireless
service provider for more details. Availability of cellular capabilities depends
on the wireless network.
