The extended Home screen

The Home screen extends to either side of the screen, giving you more room to add
icons, widgets or features. To view the extended screen, slide your finger to the left
or right.

Personalizing the Home screen

You may personalize your Home screen by adding or removing application shortcuts
or widgets, and by changing the wallpaper.

Adding and removing shortcuts and widgets

To add shortcuts or widgets, tap the Application menu icon in
the bottom-center of the Home screen.
Tap APPS to see a list of shortcuts to applications you can drag
to a Home screen.
Tap WIDGETS to see small applications and links (such as
custom shortcuts, contacts or bookmarks) that you can add to a
Home screen. Widgets are small applications that display
constantly-updated information or quick shortcuts to applications
or special functions.
To move an App or Widget to the Home screen, tap and hold an
item until it is selected. The Home screen will open. Drag the
item to any free area on the screen. To view information about
the App or Widget, drag it to the icon at the top of the screen.
To move the item to a different Home screen, drag it to the side
of the screen, the Home screen will switch to the screen in that
direction. Release the item when it is positioned correctly.
To remove a shortcut or widget from the Home screen, tap and
drag it to Remove at the top of the screen.
