Customizing the Home Screen
You can personalize your Home screen by adding application icons,

item.
2. Press the
Menu Key and touch Add.
Or, just touch and hold an empty spot on the Home screen
pane.
NOTE
If there is no available space on a particular Home screen pane, Add will
not be available; you must delete or remove an item before you can add
another item. In this case, you have the option of switching to another
Home screen pane.

screen, including a clock, a music player, a picture frame, Bing
