iTunes have sneaked in a new feature with App Management. For people like me that have over 200 apps/games downloaded or purchased for the iPhone, you can now put more than 176 apps in the organizer in iTunes, and those will move on to grayed-out homescreens to signify these apps/games won’t show, but you can still drag them off these screens into a valid screen.
You can also still access them on the iPhone by using Spotlight, but those grayed-out homescreens only serve as a buffer to hold your overflow apps while you’re organizing them.

If you don’t mind not syncing to iTunes you can display extra pages on your iPhone by following the explanation shown here http://blog.alltechrelated.com/2009/08/12/how-to-display-more-than-11-pages-on-apps-on-iphoneipod-touch/
Currently I have 16 pages of apps visible on my iPhone without using Spotlight, but I understand that if I synchronis with iTunes it will revert back to the standard 11 pages

I looked at the links and a number of people couldn’t get it to work. Strangely enough I have 12 screens on my 3GS without having to employ the jiggery and pokery of forcing it to create a blank screen and I have synced with iTunes many times since.
