To create folders and help organize your phone, you can follow these steps to easily create folders:

-Find empty space anywhere on one of your 7 homescreens.
-Next long press on an empty spot.
-Click on Folders
-Select New folder

This will place the folder onto your homescreen. To change the folder name, tap to open the folder, once open long press on the tittle bar where it says "folder." This will allow you to change the folder name.

You can now organize your phone. Simply drag and drop items into the folder. For example, I have a folder named "Games" and all my game apps are drag and dropped into this folder.

I just tried this out for the first time a few days ago. Never really occurred to me to make folders...it does save a lot of space on the screens. I was getting close to running out of room!
