Operating Instructions

Press and
hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a
contact or link in a webpage), 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.
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, 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
HTC Thunderbolt sideways. When entering text, you can
turn HTC Thunderbolt sideways to bring up a bigger
keyboard.
Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can
“pinch” the screen using two fingers (for example, thumb
and index finger) to zoom in or zoom out when viewing a
picture or a webpage.
Two-finger
scrolling
In some apps that have sorting, like Mail or People, you can
use two fingers to scroll the screen. The screen displays the
sorting order, and you can easily scroll to the information
you want.
