To open an application or other element on the touch screen, you normally tap it with your finger. However, to open the following items, you must tap them twice.

• List items in an application, such as the Drafts folder in the Messaging application.
• Files in a file list, for example, an image in the Captured folder in the Photos application.

Tip: When you open a list view, the first item is already highlighted. To open the highlighted item, tap it once. If you tap a file or similar item once, it is not opened, it becomes highlighted. To see the options available for the item, select Options or, if available, select an icon from a toolbar.

In this user documentation, to open applications or items by tapping them once or twice, you "select" them. If you need to select several items in a sequence, the display texts to select are separated by arrows.

Example: To select Options > Help, tap Options, and then tap Help.

To drag, place your finger on the screen, and slide it across the screen.

Example: To scroll up or down on a web page, drag the page with your finger.

To swipe, slide your finger quickly left or right on the screen.

To flick, place your finger on the screen, slide it quickly across the screen, then quickly lift your finger.

In your device, flicking is available in Music player.

To scroll up or down in lists that have a scroll bar, drag the slider of the scroll bar. In some list views, you can place your finger on a list item and drag up or down.
