This is one place the 240px high screen really suffers, since you can only see 8 icons at a time.
First off - THANKS HAUS! your tips have been great! Now this next reply may show off my OCD, but really it only took me a couple minutes to do. I've read in several reviews there is no way to re-arrange all of your icons - there is, you just have to be organized. Open an EXCEL, list all of your program icons, in the next cell assign them a group a= critical, b= high value, c= low value, d= medium (I did this on purpose, critical and high end up at the top, medium at the very bottom, and low lost in the clutter inbetween) Next, go through your groups and replace the a,b,c,d with a numerical value in order of importance. Sort your list descending, then go through your phone moving each icon to the top in the order of your list. Voila! Everything ends up where you wanted it...
