You select what you want by touching, then you click in the screen to select. You can click to select by pressing anywhere on the screen....the corner, the middle, the area that you already selected, etc. You don't have to push in where you selected an item because the click is just a confirmation.
I've read everything there is to read on the Storm (including the Owner's Manual). And your statement is exactly why it's NOT clear.

If you're in the browser, and you touch to select LinkA, then click somewhere else, and the spot where you click it just happens to be right on top of LinkB, which one gets activated? If the answer is LinkA, then how does the phone know that you meant LinkA when you actually clicked on LinkB? Is there some time delay, where, if you touch and click immediately, the phone only recognizes it as a click (i.e. it still activates the cursor at it's current location)? But, if you touch and delay for some amount of time, then the phone recognizes it as a touch (and thus, repositions the cursor to the touch location), and THEN you can press harder to register a click?
