The iPhone allows up to 11 home screens. Including the dock, this means a total of 180 application icons can be visible at any one time (unless you use this firmware 3.1.2 trick to get more). The iPhone actually allows more than 180 applications to be installed.
Problem is that some of the icons will go missing. So how do you run these "hidden" apps? Open Spotlight to search your iPhone and run them from there.

Follow these steps to get more than 11 home pages on your iPhone:

Apple told Google that its Voice app was not welcome in the App Store, to the chagrin of many users of the service. Google did not give up, it went ahead and developed a web app that works on any handset supporting HTML 5.
Now iPhone users can get Google Voice using the web app. Simply browse over to m.google.com/voice in Mobile Safari to access the service on your iPhone.

Developers have already started digging into the iPhone OS 3.2 code now that Apple has released the latest SDK in connection with the iPad. There are several hints that increased functionality is on the way in future iterations of the iPhone.
Some of the highlights in the code include ways to accept and decline a video conference, switch a video feed from camera to camera (front and back?), and run a video call in full screen mode or in a window. Could it be that a front-facing camera is on its way to the 4G iPhone for video calling?
