You mean Application Management? If it is that, then it is a core system item and cannot be removed. This is where all your application information is being processed and kept in a organized manner. You see a list of all the apps you have there right?

Nope, I didnt mean app management. I've just loaded leaked os 7.1 and a new app showed up called "Blackberry Plans Application".

I can see it on the app list in the app management menu. But I cant find it anywhere.

Same here... I see it in the app list, but it's nowhere to be seen on the phone.

Maybe another carrier dependant feature?

This, WHAT is this?
This is the EULA of the app, no information about the app itself.

cntrydncr223 · #9 12-30-2011, 05:09 PM

Odd to have a license agreement/aknowledgement as an optional "app" to install...
I didnt' know what it was, either, but I've installed both with and without, and my device runs the same either way...

giantfan30 · #10 01-09-2012, 03:28 PM

ummm its right there in the EULA posted above
reading is fundamental lol

I think this is what allows ppl to use/ access your mobile hotspot feature and no telling what else.

duane534 · #12 02-08-2012, 01:12 AM

It sounds like carrier billing to me. So, if you want to add a feature to your account (like Mobile Hotspot), you can do it from the handset (without calling in to your carrier). Also, I could see them isolating carrier billing from App World, so that you could pay for preloaded apps and / or virtual preloads in the same way.
