Every so often here, we go over BlackBerry quick tips, little tidbits that can make your BlackBerry life easier. Some of these are more advanced, but we also like to go over the basics. Today is one of those instances. In searching through the site yesterday, I realized we didn’t have a bit on how to delete applications from your BlackBerry. So after the jump we’ll go through the basic process.



First, go to Options.
Then, go to Advanced Options.
Finally, click on Applications.



You’ll see a notice that your BlackBerry is building an applications list. On the other end you’ll see a big huge list, containing core applications and some things you might not recognize. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: if you do not know what it is, do not delete it.
Scroll down to find the application you’d like to delete. Once it’s highlighted, hit the Menu key. You’ll see a number of options, but all we’re interested in now is the obvious one: Delete. Click it, and you’ll get confirmation. Click Yes, and it will delete the application.
Afterward you’ll be prompted to reset your BlackBerry. If you plan to delete multiple applications, say no. Say yes after the last application you’re going to delete. A reset clears the application out of device memory.

Nokia N97 reviewed

Engadget has posted the most awesome gadget review ever written in the history of ever. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but I found it very engaging as it pits one reviewer against another in a duel to the death… via letters exchanged by carrier pigeons. I suspect that’s not entirely true (and I made up the part about dueling to the death), but I love the presentation.
Fair warning: you might want to clear some time off your schedule before tackling it. I had to break out my advanced reading skills to chug it down in 10-15 minutes. YMMV.
Oh, and it’s about the Nokia N97. Lot of back and forth about the pros and cons of this advanced device. I found much on both sides that match up with my previous analysis.
