Sprint's Award-Winning One Click Interface

The Sprint One Click interface.

This phone features Sprint's One Click navigation interface, which places eight shortcut tiles along the bottom of the home screen. Instead of navigating through endless phone menus, you can put the things you use the most--features like call logs, texting, Web access and GPS navigation--right up front with instant information related to each feature. For example, when you scroll to text messaging, you'll see the number of new messages received and a single click takes take you to the newest messages. Here's how it works:

• Add your favorite items to the carousel, which is a row of tiles along the bottom of your phone's home screen.
• The carousel can hold up to 15 tiles, which you can add, remove and rearrange to suit your needs.
• Highlight a tile to reveal its menu on your home screen.
• Add up to 8 "bubbles"--at-a-glance items that display on your home screen, like the weather or your daily horoscope.
• Browse and download new tiles from your phone's "Personalize Home Screen" tile. New tiles are available every two weeks.
• Press your navigation left or right key to select a tile; up or down to select a bubble or menu item.
• The "Home" tile always stays put, so you can easily get back to your default display.
