Multitasking

You can have multiple applications open at the same time. To open a new
application, press the Home button to return to the Home screen, then start the
new application.
To view your active applications, press and hold the Home button. Then tap an
icon to go to the application.

Tip: To prolong battery life, it is better to close an application when you’ve finished
using it. Do this by either pressing the Back key or the Menu button and selecting Exit
(if available).

The extended Home screen

The Home screen extends to either side of the screen, giving you more room to
add icons, widgets or features. To view the extended Home screen slide your
finger to the left or right of the Home screen.

Notification area

The Notification area is at the top of the screen.

This area contains a variety of icons to inform you of your phone’s status. The
left side of the Notification area displays event icons that indicate a new event
(such as a new message). The icons on the right side indicate signal strength,
connection, battery status and the time.
Drag the Notification area down the screen, or tap the area, to view more
information about new events.
