I did not know I could create multiple pages in the launcher. I have wondered if I could order the icons in the launcher, also.

Other than doing that, all it takes is creating your own scheme of categories and optionally install the add pages to launcher patch so that you can create new pages. For some reason Palm commented out the code that could do this when they first released the Pre and they STILL haven't put it back in. Put you can activate it with a patch...
