Time to share; my current iPhone setup
October 6, 2009 | Robert Nelson
A little while back I spend the weekend at BarCamp Tampa and just like you would expect when you put a room full of geeks together — there were more than a few times that I found myself checking out an iPhone and the apps that were installed. My iPhone was passed around between quite a few people as well. Personally, I find it interesting to see what others have installed, and it seems I am not alone in that thought.
That said, I had been thinking of sharing my screen setup here on iPhoneFreak, and then I saw TUAW do the same just the other day.
With that I thought what better time than now to share. I will say though, I am not sure there is anything terribly exciting on my iPhone, or maybe I just think that because I am used to the apps and layout that I have. Just maybe someone else can find something interesting.
My screen layout consists of;
- Screen 1 – What I call ‘general’ apps
- Screen 2 – My commonly used apps
- Screen 3 – Imaging and entertainment (music, audiobooks ect.)
- Screen 4 – News
- Screen 5 – Games (funny because this section if full and the least likely to be used)
- Screen 6 – Settings
- Screen 7 – Misc. (apps I may delete soon, just installed or am testing for a review.)
And last but not least, my lock screen. So without further adieu, here are my screenshots.
Hey Dude,
Just saw your tweet about BarCamp … I actually live in St. Pete!
I couldn’t make BarCamp, because I was out of town, but we should get together for lunch sometime.
Talk with you soon,
Ryan
dude…..are you jailbroken?..seems like i read that you are…and if so are you recieving push notifications?…( i see you have growl and quite a few notification badges) if not I apologize for assuming but again as often as I read this blog I thought that you were…if you do have push working on a jailbroken phone is it a 3g?…still trying to figure out how to get my push working on my jailbroken 2g
thanks
@ Ryan
Very cool, always nice to meet a local. Lunch would be great, I am just up the road (Tarpon Springs) from St. Pete.
@WyzePro
Yes, my iPhone has been jailbroken, actually has been for a long time now. I do have push working on my 3GS, but did not do anything to get it working. It just worked, which from some of the reports that I read, that was lucky. Sorry I could not offer more in the way of assistance.
This might be a dumb question, but I assume your phone is unlocked and running on a different carrier than AT&T?
Thanks.
Hello
I just saw your layout for your iPhone and I have a quick question. How did you get your lock screen to have appointments and apps on the screen and can this be done on an iPhone 3g
Thanks for any help.

@Andy,
My phone is jailbroken, but not not unlocked, I still use AT&T.
@Tim,
The calendar on the lock screen comes from an app called Lock Calendar. You can read some more about that here;

The apps are from an app called mQuickDo, I will be writing a post about that in the next day or two.
