I have that folder on my "top row", so using Dimension Today+ theme that folder opens with a click and I can arrange them on the screen as suits me. IMHO, shortcut management within Blackberry Browser really blows. Just my $.02. I have all these home screen icons for web sites that get blog mentions in a folder.

I used to feel how Kyle feels that I'd rather just keep a Bookmark and save homescreen realestate and memory, but with so many bookmarks to scroll through for a few sites I check several times a day, the homescreen icons really help, and if it is a well designed icon, it just makes the whole homescreen look good. The icon for the Washington Post however is not attractive, and really could be re-designed. On that note, the BerryReview homescreen icon suffers from the same problem Maufait "had" in that the status bar disappears and the page doesn't appear to load less you refresh the screen by hitting the Menu button. Maybe BerryReivew can fix that at some point. I personally like the homescreen shortcuts.
