I have also been trying to change my homepage (from Verizon's to Google). I went to Internet Explorer and brought up Google. Then I selected Menu, Favorites, I highlighted the Verizon entry, selected Menu then Delete. The Verizon page was deleted from Favorites and now Google is my home page.
I'm guessing that the last page you went to is the default when the default page is deleted. I can't find a specific place to change the home page like on a desktop.
