WELL, I

know its not a big deal, but i noticed that you can move icons around on the home screen, I'm sure most people expected this but here is your proof:

That is pretty cool... I wonder if we'll be able to re-arrange them in different patterns.

I would hope so. It would be nice to put the more frequently used icons near the top or in the most accessible location on the phone. Definitely something to keep an eye out for.

oh, i am sure we will be able to.
the way i look at it,
is thats it is like your computers desktop,
i predict we will have complete control of adding/subtracting and moving the widgets

I would think it would be easily customized - different wallpapers, different icon selections. but we'll just have to wait and see.

Looks to me like they just decided to change the standard layout of the icons. Not necessarily that you can.

 

[ebrunn]

probably will be able to tap and hold a icon and drag it to where you want it

All of this possible tapping and dragging has me thinking that I will actually, for once, have to read the manual on how to properly use the iPhone. Then again a more fun way would be to just figure it out as I go along.

Oh yeah me too. I'm a big instruction reader. When I ordered my Razr, I downloaded the manual of the HelloMoto website just so I could learn all about it before it arrived. I'll probably be up all night reading the iPhone manual cover to cover.

I'm the same way! Got a new car and read every scrap of paper that came with it that night.

I think it is one of those tile puzzles with one blank space that you have to move the tiles around to make the picture.

Was thinking it could be VOIP, but it wouldn't have it's own icon but would be behind the scenes when calling. Then I was thinking it could be recording video, but it would just be in the Camera icon. No idea.

actually i think thats a huge deal, I hate not being able to rearange the menu on my phone

Is it possible to move or change the icons on the home screen?

 

[invincible569]

You can move the icons! BUT... not on the home screen. You can move them under the ipod section. That way you know what the feel of it is. Go to Ipod, then More, now Edit. Now drag your icons all around. You can also do this in the Phone section.

It's all in the manual.

Thanks, I was trying to get the Wifi button on the front page. Maybe the next version will have that option.

I wonder if you will ever be able to delete icons from the home page, maybe freeing up some of the phones memory.
I for one will never use the stock icon.

I agree. The stock icon should of been held back for the corporate edition.

I don't understand the original post. I don't see any proof that you can move the icons on the home screen.

All the photos show is the layout of the home screen before they added the YouTube icon. Everything is in the same order, etc.

What am I missing here?

He just wants to customize his icons by priority. This is something you can do on the Blackberries.
