3 desktops full off apps is a hell lot of apps. bout 20 x 3 = 60 apps. With that amount your tactics of putting the most unused at the bottom would be really bad even if those would be divided to 10 categories(categorization brings its own problems to the game) @OS2008. Keep in mind that when in desktop you can access every app with at max 3 swipes plus tapping a right spot. A lot more easier than browsing lists that have +10 items IMO.
Just put your most used apps to desktop next to contacts and then by usage(or what categorization ever you want) sort different apps to different desktops. A bit like OS2008 but far more better when you get used to it.

eventually I will have too many apps and they will not all fit on 4 desktops,
especially since I have one desktop devoted to contacts.
thanks for the help, I'm sure the n900 will improve just like the others in
the series.
