Can I remove application icons from my blackberry curve 8310?

Question

I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8310. All the themes I have has icons on my home screen. Is there a way to remove them? I'd prefer for it just to have time, battery, etc., like most of my old phones. I don't want it to have phonebook, voicedial, etc. Thanks!

Answer 1

you can hide them from showing by pressing menu on the icon that you wish to hide then scroll to hide and click on trackball....

Answer 2

I am not 100% sure about each individual icon, but if you go to Settings>Options>Advanced Options>Applications, you should see all of your programs.  You can highlight the ones you don't like and push Menu>Delete.  When the Applications page loads, be advised that it has to "populate the list," so it may appear blank for a few seconds.  Otherwise, you can use your Desktop Manager that came with the CD to add and remove programs.  I'm sorry if this doesn't answer your entire question, but I hope that it gets you started.

P.S.  A "cheat" way is to move your unwanted icons into an existing folder or a new folder (Menu from the Home Screen>Add Folder).  That way, they don't clutter or slow you down when you're navigating the main screen.
