The home page is the first bookmark, however it's not possible to edit or delete the Sony Ericsson ones to move them down.
If you can get yourself a Wap config SMS which includes a Home Page you can force that to the top.
I believe someone downloaded some software, pluged their mobile in, sent the message via the phone to the phone, deleted the Wap settings and was left with the homepage. But I can't remember which software they used.

I also use a wireless network and for some reason the homepage/first page never loads, thats why I'm trying to change it.

I'm on o2, so presume its one of there pages.

On the P990 it was possible to edit the network bookmarks which placed them down the list, leaving you with the Sony Ericsson page which is actually store on the phone. (It was also possible to delete most of them as well).

I "think" the software you can use is Now.SMS. You can get a 60 day trial, and you'll need to use OTA Provisioning Gateway option/function.
As I can't install anything here, I can't test.
However the only bit from there example you'll need to change is
Code:<characteristic type="RESOURCE">
<parm name="URI" value="http://wap.movistar.com"/>
<parm name="STARTPAGE"/>
</characteristic>

to the url you want and the name to be displayed. [fingers crossed]

the reason the o2 active homepage wont open is because its a wap portal (http://wap.o2.co.uk) which is only available over gprs/edge/3g, wlan uses an isp, so no way around that.

as for the homepage problem, an easy solution is to highlight the web shortcut on your homescreen, select morereplaceweb page. set it as http://www.google.co.uk for example and thats it
