Technically you're right, but I will never put stocks or contacts on my front screen. Both are 100% useless to me.
Somebody REALLY needs to bring Poof! to the App Store.
Got a tip for us?

They need to make an Apps Button, and when you hit that, you can access all of your apps, instead of them being on your front main page.
Here's my home screen; I've been keeping it like that through every firmware version, just because I <3 the cleanliness of that arrangement. And yes, that's 2.0. In the spot under Clock, AppFlow lives in secret. I've given it a solid black icon and modified it to show no name, and then hidden everything. Change the calculator icon, and boom, it's all good

Yea I don't really see the point of having that much stuff...
Although I must admit I have thought it would be kool to allow vertical pages too. Like have a matrix-like array of pages.
That way we could have 2x9 or 3x9 or something like that for the limit.

1st couple responses were no help at all, but i thank everyone else. You are right, scrolling through 9 pages is a true hassle, and some sort of 'folder' system needs to be implemented.
The phone is capable of much more, and to put a limit on the pages only cuts into the apple store's profits.
wasn't planning on actually listing them, but since so many seemed interest, i'll mention a scattering of them...

To be honest, unless if you give us a list of your apps/screenshots of your homescreens, then there is not much we can do. Until we see what you have, the only suggestion that I can give if you don't want to delete them would be to remove all web icons on your homescreen.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize there was a second page

Weather and Stocks seemed like 'demo' apps to show people the sort of widget-like applications Apple initially wanted on the phone, they don't really serve much of a purpose, I think that those apps should be default synced applications through iTunes, but if the end user wants to remove Contacts, Stocks, Weather, youtube, calculator, clock, or photos Apple should let them. For Many people there are better alternatives on the App Store and if they would rather use one of those Apple should let them.

Appflow huh? I like the look! It's almost exactly like mine. I'm going to check the store right now...
And how did you modify the icon to be invisible? Is that an option within the app?
EDIT: Its not there... :\

is there a limited number of apps that show up on your comp in itunes? because I have 34 apps, but only 28 show up on itunes... 4x7
i don't have every last one installed right now, but here's what i'm currently running. You'll notice there are no webclips, bookmarks work fine, besides, looks like i don't have the real estate anyway.
Should anyone take these screenshots as bragging about how many apps i have, that is not the intention. I didn't really want to have to post screenies, but since you guys said you'd like to see them, i did it.
on a side note, i don't notice any slowdowns with this many apps on the springboard. moving apps around, and flipping pages is just as fluid as ever.
again i'm willing to offer a few words on any apps you see here should anyone be thinking about a purchase.

check your email dude!!! And how is crash? worth the 10 bucks? What do you think is the best photo sharing app?
aqua forest is neat, but it has a critical problem. terrible framerates when there is a lot of 'water' on screen.
it handles fluid dynamics incredibly, and impresses friends. but to play the game with any seriousness means you will be fighting poor framerates. maybe an update will fix.
crash is good. youtube has plenty of vids where you can see it in action. i'd recommend it.
photosharing? one word. airme.

aol, pandora and last.fm?
just use last.fm
there's 2 free apps.
second of all, the reason why he has so many is because he jailbreaked it.

The appflow idea posted above might work... if not maybe you can use poof, I don't know if it would help or not though.
Wait so you can actually get legit apps through jailbreaking? Link please
Cydia has some, and you can also install cracked apps... but that's stealing.
