Is it possible to change the background on the home screen? I messed with the settings under wallpaper..but that is just the wallpaper for when you have a call coming in. Are we always going to be stuck with that black background?! I'm probably just missing something, any help would be great.
Got a tip for us?

You can't change the homescreen, it's always black. I guess this gives Apple control of making sure everything is fully visible, and no colours clash with the background image etc., as well as mainting a clear/simple/classy look to the main iPhone screen.
The wallpaper also displays on the Unlock screen, as well as for incoming call.
I think the only way we'd ever be able to change the backgroun on the home screen is if we sent our proposed background to Steve Jobs so he can ensure it doesn't clash with the rest of the design. There's no way he's going to let you do anything that would make your phone look remotely unattractive.
