I have 11 full screams of apps anything I download now doesn’t show up. And I even lost my mail icon trying to make another page with it. All I want is to get it back.

I think the eleven pages are great. If you don’t have that many pages of apps, great. Stop complaining. Thanks

Its really scary when you add more than nine pages apps. They fall off the edge of the earth. Why not just bump it up to twenty? I can fill up two pages in about a day with a 50 dollar iTunes giftcard.

I found this thread through google when I was searching to find a reason why my phone wouldn’t make a 10th screen. After reading through all your posts I am most like Mike M.

I am an App ***** but am extremely organized. I have my most used apps, social networking, tv and video apps, two pages of games, etc.

I have only had my 3g 16gig since February but i use it more and seem to know more about it then the 20-30 other local friends of mine that have it LOL

As far as space I have only used barely 2 gigs. Those of you maxing your memory try taking some **** off your ipod. I have some music there but mostly use pandora. I don’t mind swiping to pages, i do know where everything is without the need for folders and can’t wait for 11 pages. Those of you out there like me who max out 9 pages… U r not alone

just use “categories” from cydia and make as many folders as u want,, then add as many apps u want in a folder,, (I got 88 in one) using only 3 pages,,, bloody simple,, stop your whining about the limited amount of pages.

If there was a 12 step group for excessive Iphone users, I’d probably never join it because the iPhone is more than just a phone, it’s a mini desktop in my pocket. I have 148 apps(9 pages) plus apps I had to delete saved on my mac mini at home. Page 1 & 2 Are mainly contact, business, and banking apps used together for global Trade. Page 3 is all about gambling apps. Page 4 & 5 are arcade. And 3D games. Page 6 is all about photo, novels, fun tools mainly used, snappshoted, and sent to clients on the fly. Page 7 is mainly automotive cause I’m basically a gear head(another 12 step opportunity) Page 8 is all about health Page 9 has sailing navigaton apps as well as safety apps for the open ocean(by the way Otterbox makes a great water resistant case) So – yeah, I’m all for a folder idea but even better I like the category idea, because It just makes sense. I’m also all for a 32 gig(or more) so I can put more apps, more pictures, more movies etc…And if the phone gets trashed- so what! It’s better to pay 300 for a new phone and backload it than fix an apple screen for $1300(that sucks Iv’ve done it twice)

How about Apple including Exposé and Spaces like they do on Macs. Hover over a corner and voilà! You’ve got a screen that shows you all of your pages. Select and go!

I agree with those that think iTunes should have an option to organize apps. A screen with 11 virtual pages to drag and drop apps and sync to your iPhone. That used to be a necessity. Alot of people are downing searchlight because it's not an answer to page organization. But real I think it makes page organization obselete!

With searchlight why would you have to use folders and categories? Why would u have to worry about swiping or what page which apps are on? Who cares if games or your most used apps are on page 3 or 7; or if there are 11 or 20 pages to swipe through?

With searchlight pages are now just storage. If u have a ton of apps just press the home button once to get back to ur home page if your not on it, and press again or swipe right to search. Type in the name of the app u want and launch it from searchlight!

That simple. Type, search, launch.

With that it doesn't matter what page it's on because it's all on searchlight.

Some of you people are killing me! Do you hear yourselves? People are complalining about having to swipe and fingerprints coming off and the need for more pages etc etc. Do you remember when our phones didn’t do anything but make a phone call? We’ve come a long way, granted with feedback given by the consumer, but most of the complaints on here are from a spoiled generation of “need to have it nowers” For crying out loud just plug your Iphone into your computer and organize it on a weekly basis. Is it really that hard? You’re apparently saving all this time with your handy phone but you apparently don’t have time to sync your phone according to your needs for the day/week? Come on, quit the whining. For the record I do have an Iphone with 4 pages of apps. 4th page I rarely use and I have never worked for Apple.

I have 8 pages of apps. Didn't realize all of you used so little. I guess I should say, didn't realize that having 8 pages was a lot. Now every page isn't full. There are generally 1-3 blank spots on each page. I keep it very organized by what they do. All games on two pages. I have all my internet radio apps paired togther...amazon, ebay, craiglist together...etc. But, I do not need 11 pages. But theres not reason to complain that they gave us this option. Some people have every page filled, and have to delete just to download a new app.

As for the person that said to hold your finger down on a black spot of the home screen. That wouldn't work at all. Thats too close to how you rearrange and delete apps. People would start to get frustrated when they tried to delete an app, or select a new page, and the opposite happens.

Spotlight well work perfect for my needs. Figuring out a way to pick a certain screen page just doesn't seem worth it. I mean, do you really remember what the page number of each app is on...? Unless you forget the name, spotlight is a GREAT addition. Can't wait to use it.
