IF you are tactile and both visually orientated you will appreciate my blog post as they have pictures and you can touch your LCD screen and touch the words as you read them. Even though sometimes you fall instead of getting discouraged, don't look at your search for a new cell phone as a failure - and more importantly, fear of failure - has never stopped me from pursuing this goal.

It is important to check in with yourself and ask yourself is touch screen an important feature if you are buying a new cell phone. If at first you apply for the HTC dash or the HTC touch from Sprint and don't get approved because your credit score is low. Don't get down on yourself, try applying for a T-mobile HTC T-Mobile Wing. Remember due to my diligent research, T-Mobile and Cingular are the carriers that have the easiest credit approval process, now Helio does not offer any touch screen phones.

Let the Tutorial Begin

Read the previous blog post if you do not know how to remove your stylus pen from your pocket PC or touch screen phone. If you are on the clumsy side it would not hurt to buy a otter water proof case to put your touch screen phone inside. As well as your stlyus pen, every time you misplace your stylus pen it will put you out of pocket $60.

How do you right click like on your mouse so the context menu pops up

Very easy, go ahead and tap on an application with your stylus pen and at the same time hold the stylus on the applicaton until you see a context specific menu appears on the LCD screen. Once you see this menu pop up, lift the stylus off your touchscreen and tap or select another application such as calendar from the drop down menu to go into calender.

Inhale and Exhale as you read this tutorial so you do not get overwhelmed

Check where your center is. Did you know on all Pocket PC screens, you will see a start menu on the top and then a calender and contact icon on the bottom of the screen?

What are the 3 main buttons on your touch screen windows mobile device?

The Start menu button:

You can access the start menu like you would if you were on a Windows Operating system computer by tapping on the start menu icon on the upper left hand corner of your LCD screen. Many people have touched this start menu with their stylus many times, it is the most used or most tapped application.. Once you have tapped the start menu, it is so easy to access the rest of the programs which will appear on the drop down list. Is that not grand or what?

The Menu bar:

Where is the menu bar, it is located on bottom of any windows mobile 5.0 device whether a pocket PC, treo phone or HTC touch screen cell phone.On the today screen, you will see the 2 most used applications: they are the calender and the contacts icon. Go ahead and use your stylus and tap the calender to see what is in stored for you today.

The today screen:

For all you touch screen enthuiast, you already know what the today screen is, it lists your appointments, to do tasks, emails etc. Go ahead and tap on one of these, if you want to know what groceries you need to pick up tap on the task list. I hope you better go to the co-op, that is where I go to buy food not on an empty stomach like I did last week and end up buying $250 worth of goodies. I was not able to follow my to do shopping list and stick with what my wife told me to buy.
