A newcomer to touchscreens.

Is it possible to change the direction of the touchscreen when you are scrolling on the Genio Slide. For example, I would like to scroll up on the screen and the menu to move up as well, at the moment when you scroll up it is dragging up therefore the menu is scrolling down.

I have searched through the options but cant see anything in there.

no, i doubt there'll be an option for that because it's totally counter-intuitive and it would make the phone unusable.

i've never heard a single other person wish for such a feature :eek:

I am getting the hang of it the more I use it. I didn't think it would be a unique request since when there is a scroll bar on the side of the screen you scroll down to move the menu down. I thought it would be the same for swiping through screens/menus.

You get the hang of it, when the v40 update for my old 5800 came in I had to get used to kinetic scrolling (move finger from bottom of screen to top if you want to scroll down) instead of scroll bars (move finger from top to bottom when you want to scroll down)

Either way is usable, kinetic scrolling as it is is actually more like the physical world and thus slightly more intuitive, it's just we have had years of getting used to scroll wheels and bars on PC's - and nobody thinks a scroll wheel is "totally counter-unintuitive."

Yeah I can see the OP's point. When a mate of mine first used my phone he couldn't work out how to scroll. But once you get used to it it's second nature.
