How do I consolidate apps?

Since updating my 3G to version 3.0 my apps are spread over 6 screens instead of the original 4. And they are not longer organized the way I had them.The first screen is blank!

Is there an easy way to move my apps forward to pages 1-4 without flicking each one?
Thanks for any ideas.

Power Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz Processors; 2 GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.4.10), iPhone 3G with 3.0 update

Start by resetting the home screen layout: Choose Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout. That will put the original icons back in their original positions. The rest you have to move manually.

Press and hold an icon until it wriggles to move it. You can tap the row of white dots above the bottom row of icons to go to another page.

To get an icon to another page easily, with iPhone OS 3.0, you can drag the icon you want to move to the top right or top left corner of the page, and hold it there. The pages will keep flipping. When you've arrived to the page you want to add the app to, just move the icon away from the corner.

Tap the home button when finished.
