Sound Profile setting.
When you have sound turned off (“Silent” sound
profile), the title bar will indicate whether you have flashing lights or vibration
set for alerts or notifications. From left to right, the icons indicate: totally silent
(no sound, flashing lights, or vibration), flashing lights only, and vibration only.
Communication services notifications.
When you receive a new email,
text, IM, picture, or voice mail message, or when a Web page has finished
loading, you’ll see a visual “balloon” notification move across the title bar, while
you’re in any application except games.
Until you check your new message or go to your Web page you’ll see the
appropriate icon in the title bar as a reminder. The examples shown to the left
illustrate a pending email message, text message, and loaded Web page.
Menus
Almost every screen on your device has a set of actions you can take while
on that screen. These actions are listed in a floating window, called a menu,
which you open by pressing the Menu button
MENU
. Notice that some menu
items expand into submenus, as shown with Settings below.
Frequently-used menu items also have keyboard shortcuts that use the Menu
button plus a shortcut key. For example, take a look at the menu shown above.
To compose a new email message, you could press
MENU
+
N
rather than
opening the menu and selecting
New Message
with the wheel.
