Here are my 2 favorite screens. I have a total of 76 Apps downloaded from the iTunes Store, 32 are free ones. What happens when I run out space on my 8 screens?:eek:

How to take a picture of your iPhone screen: Press the Home, and Power button at the same time. The iPhone screen will flash (takes a snapshot of whatever is on the iPhone screen) and puts it in pictures.

Summary/Update: After a small sampling of a little more then 30 votes, it looks like 3-4 Home Screens is coming in as the average. From some of the comments it seems like long backups, and storage space on the iPhone/iPod Touch is a concern.
You should back up periodically, but if you use the "Slide to Unlock" when it starts to back up, it will quit the backup and start the normal sync process.
Storage Space: I have at least 76 applications and still have 4.4 gb/8gb left.
At least 5 of apps I downloaded for free, or reduced price, are now being sold at a higher price. So, I am downloading a lot now, and if I don't use the free one's I can delete them.
Also good to see the European iPhone Home screen pictures. I am going to have to find out how to get the different background colors for the Home screen.

Do you really use all that crap? 8 Pages? i hate having two.
 
1. what a big waste of money on 95% of those apps!
2. man do u even use all of them
3. GOD DAMM U HAVE NO LIFE!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

1. Small change
2. Yup, use em all!
3. Correct!

I spent the whole first year with only 2 pages. Yes I use it all!

i guess 16 gb iphone to hold all of that stuff

No 8gb, and I have about 4.4gb space left.

I can't imagine how long that's gotta take to backup. Yikes.

When I let it back up it takes a good while. If I just want to sync it up, I slide to unlock, and that stops the backup, and starts the sync. Same as if you are backing up, and you get a call or IM, and you want to answer it.

thanks! thats one of the best tips i got yet!
 
if he was a box of chocolates id totally eat all of his body parts

Uh huh... that's... not weird... *backs away slowly*

I have 5 home screens: stock apps, bookmarks/webclips, most used apps, apps that don't really do anything but are cool (iPint, etc), and anything else I happen to have on there.

That's one of the things I am trying to bring out, how other iPhone user's customize, or organize their 8 home screens. My first 3 are pretty solid, with just the Apple Remote App added on the first one, so I didn't include it in the original pictures. The other 5 are subject to change at my slightest whim! It could even be a Socialogical/Psychological study or profile someday...ie: I see you have such, and such an application on home screen #4, you must be my type, or a cool person :apple:...? (I'm just brainstorming here):)

Your Welcome!:) It comes in very handy, and useful for many purposes like diagnostic screen shots to solve problems, or use one as your iPhone background picture, and Oh yeah, submitting home screen pictures to this thread:D

I hate when people say that. Just because he chooses to live a life different than yours doesn't mean he "has no life". You must be all that and a box of chocolates. :rolleyes:

I think he, or she was just being "tounge in cheek", anyway no offence taken, it might even pursuade me to by a dictionary app for my iPhone after writing this, because I have to think twice about some of the spellings. How appropro!:cool:

What stock apps do you have im looking for a good one,, I have the default one and bloomberg
 
wait, you want us to post pics of a bunch of icons on a page? why would I have a "favorite"? This would be about as meaningful as posting pics of my "favorite" whisker.

Yes
Because they all can't be favorites
Please - Only men can post their favorite whisker's, except for cat's.;)

Aloha everyone,

I have four full pages, and a couple on a fifth page. It's strange - I've never really played too many games on any of my computers, Windows or Mac, but my iPhone is too good a platform to NOT play them. I spend too much time on two or three of them, but do manage to use most of these apps on a somewhat regular basis.

3. GOD DAMM U HAVE NO LIFE!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

???

He spent the time to download a bunch of apps and makes use of them. Sounds like he not only has a life, but an organized one at that if he can manage to properly utilize all of those apps.
 
I have 5 screens filled up now, mostly with free apps that I have been trying out. I have given no thought to the arrangement of the icons, they are were ever they ended up after installing or updating them.
