iPhone home screen page problems.

On my home screen i have three pages. When i download new apps they come on the middle one which is the 2nd and when I unlock or power off then power on, the phone always shows the 1st page. Is there way to customize this?

I'm going to guess the second page of apps, is not full as you've moved some of the apps which could fit on the second page to a third page. Is my guess correct? If yes, what you're seeing is what you'd expect and there is no setting to change this. And yes, when you power the phone in, it will open to your first page of apps. Again, this can't be changed either.

Perfectly normal behavior, as lobsterghost1 explained, but why do you power the phone off? It should only be done to clear a problem.
