This is exactly what I did. Saw no point in keeping Phone in there as it's simply a double tap on the home button, and I don't make a ton of calls anyway.Am I the only one who took Phone out of the dock?
You don't need it there- you can set your 'double-tap Home button' function to open Favorites, and voila, you're in the Phone app.
My four:
---Calendar---Mail---Safari---iPod---
Phone, Mail, Messages, Settings....
Makes Sense to have all on screen at all times.... each to their own I guess....
I keep only 3 there. Phone, Mail, Messaging.
I'd like to keep general settings there, but it isn't aesthetically pleasing ... nor is Beejive, so I just keep those 3 nicely centered.
