Get to know your phone
Your phone has 2 views: the start screen and the apps menu. To switch between the views, simply
swipe left or right.
Start screen: The animated live tiles show your missed calls and received messages, the latest news
and weather forecasts, and more. Updates of your pinned contacts are shown on the tile, and you
can view your contacts' details directly on the start screen.
Apps menu: All your apps are listed here, all neatly ordered. If you have a lot of apps, to look one up,
tap the search bar at the top of the screen. You can easily see your recently installed apps at the top
of the apps menu.
