I'm pretty sure there are utilities to allow moving start menu items around, maybe here or over at xda-developers. I'm too lazy to look them up at the moment. Microsoft really shafted users on this aspect of WM6.5, and Samsung kicked us while we are down with this 240px high display. Talk about a massive step backward. The old system of 7 icons on the start menu and a link to the full list was easier to deal with IMHO, and at least they were alphabetical once you got to the programs folder (at least I think they were?).

For shame, Microsoft...not everything has to look like an iPhone with just enough icon offset to avoid legal trouble with Apple.

I think it's more like Sprint/Samsung shafted us by using an older build of WM 6.5. Apparently build 23037 has the ability to rearrange however you want. Check out the vids here: http://www.wmexperts.com/rearrange-s...items-winmo-65

Maybe if we're lucky Sprint will upgrade to this build when they send out the firmware updates.
