Using the stylus to get things done
Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the 
stylus to tap elements on your phone screen is a way to get things done 
on your phone.
The first time you start your phone, setup instructions appear on the 
screen. These instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. 
Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your phone with its touch-
sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the 
phone can detect exactly which task you want to perform. 
Important:
 Always use the point of the stylus for tapping the phone 
screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to tap the 
phone screen.
With your phone turned on, you can tap the phone screen to perform 
many operations, such as the following:

Open applications

Choose menu commands

Select options in dialog boxes
Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your 
computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the 
stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
