Customizing the Applications screen

The phone includes a wide variety of applications and you can download even more applications to your device. You can customize these items on the Applications screen for faster access (less scrolling) to the applications you use most often.

The application items on the Applications screen are listed alphabetically within each application category, but you can customize the screen to optimize how you use it. For example, you can condense or expand the application categories, display in an alphabetical list, move application icons to more convenient positions, and even add additional categories to organize your files.
