Getting Started 21 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 list. See "Finger scrolling" in Chapter 3 for details. Finger zooming and panning In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details. Stylus You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at the bottom of the right panel of your device. If the backlight is off, removing the stylus automatically turns the backlight back on. The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus. Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen. Navigation Control On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for directional control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection. The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out. Sliding your finger clockwise Sliding your finger counterclockwise The following programs allow you to use the Navigation Control for zooming: • Album • Camera • Opera Mobile • Word Mobile and Excel Mobile Tip If you purchase and install GPS navigation software on your device, you can also use the Navigation Control for zooming in the GPS software. On the Home screen's Music tab, you can advance forward in the music you are playing by sliding clockwise around the Navigation Control. To move backward in the music, slide counterclockwise. See "Music" in Chapter 3 for details.
