    I went to this site on my 8130 Pearl today and somehow ended up with a "Trooper Typing" icon on my home screen. I can't delete it through the 'application' route...how do I get rid of this icon? HELP.

    I've read on another thread that this cannt be deleted. Its something that verizon has put on your phone. I could possibly be wrong. You might want to try looking through the threads to see it.

    If you're sure you didn't download anything, you can try a battery pull, then see if you can delete it off of the Applications menu... Seems pretty sketchy.

    You're not alone. A quick search pulled up these threads regarding trooper typing. If I'm not mistaken, the icon is placed on your phone via a service book from Verizon. The last time I checked, the only way to get rid of it was none; just hide the icon. I am not sure at this time if a 100% removal has been found.

    I never noticed Trooper Typing until I switched themes, and selected show all icons.

    It keeps appearing on my phone also. I keep deleating the service books for it but it reappears every few days. If anyone finds a better solution please let us know.

    There are several threads on this icon...

    Apparently, it is some sort of software Verizon is putting on their Pearls which teaches Suretype. Research it a bit... People are none too happy about it.

    Just saw the other threads. F'ed up! What are service books that were mentioned to delete? Not sure where to find these.
