Home Screen Botton Bar change?

I did my usual daily battery swap last night and when it came back on, the bottom bar that shows on all the pages with the usual Phone, Messages, Applications buttons changed. Now all I have on it is Applications.

So I clicked it and searched all my applications and magically, now I have a Phone and Messages button in my applications screen (they never existed here before, only on the main screens bottom bar). So needless to say, I do still have the buttons, I just now have to have them on the desktop portion of the screens and not on that main bar, which I'd prefer. Anyone else notice this change?

I did the update a few weeks back but this just randomly happened last night, with no notification of an update. I'm bummed.

I've attached a pic I took with my horrible laptop quality camera but you still get the idea I hope :-)

I don't quite understand what you mean. If i click Applications, it goes to the app screen. If I hit the menu screen from there, I only get Edit and List View. If I hold down, say Phone button, it grabs its and tries to move it to a home screen, no way to move it to the 4 "drawer" bar because that changes to Remove.

Sad Ive had this phone for a year and still don't fully understand it :-)

PLEASE TELL!!!!  I don't understand it either!

What did you do?
