I just got my first Android phone and I need some help

Recently I got a Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket, and I'm already finding that I don't have enough space for all of the shortcuts I want for my apps.

Is it possible to add another page? (And if so how.) Or is there a way to at least organize my applications when i go to view them?

Thanks for the help!

@MagicFrappe: No it's not, it's a power user thing. I would recommend you do it though, it's extremely easy for Samsung phones.

@Neuro: Is it necessary for me to do it? I don't plan on doing any advanced things on my phone.

@MagicFrappe Rooting allows you to have full control of your phone.

Thanks for all of these links as well! It's a bit overwhelming getting used to this, but I'm enjoying the phone so far.
What's rooting? Is that the set up thing at the beginning when you first get the phone?

@malapo: I will try these, thank you so much! I have to say I really love the customization on this phone compared to my old iPhone.

I'm using the one that came installed with the phone, so i guess?

Anyway, I did what you said I'm viewing all of the pages at once, but it's only giving me the option to remove one. I'm guessing I've reached the limit?
