I havent had my BB that long and consider myself to know alot but Ive never heard of this happening to a phone. Is this something that happens periodically? How many apps have been installed on your phone without your permission. Is your phone cluttered with them??Kid you're friggin' killing me over here

Since this seems to only be affecting Verizon customers, I think Verizon is doing anything they want. How often is a different story.06-28-08 08:45 PM - Look. I have Bell's Groove Store on mine, and I deleted it, it came back. Since if I don't click on it, it's not installed, I stuck it in a folder and hid the folder with other stuff I didn't want but can't delete, like MSN or Yahoo Talk.
I didn't call up Bell and scream and kick at the dirt over it, because it's not. a. big. deal.
You have a cell phone with a carrier who can put any software on it RIM allows. If you don't like it, don't buy the phone from that carrier.
It's an effin' icon.
Why you are comparing a computer that you don't buy from your DSL provider and a cell phone you DO buy from your cell provider I have no idea. Since you buy the phone and are using Verizons network, and Verizon is providing you the handset to use their network, Verizon has every right to whatever service book RIM approves of.Point 1, it's my pc and my berry, I'll decide what does and doesn't go on each.
It's like comparing what you do to the house you bought and what you do to the apartment you rent. You can damn well guarantee the landlord can have requirements that you get no say in. If you don't want to follow Verizon's service books, break your contract and leave.
If Sympatico forced programs on my laptop without permission I would be pissed. My berry? It's their network, and ultimately their say on the service books. RIM didn't have a problem with it either, which tells me it's not malicious.Last edited by reeneebob; 06-29-08 at 12:12 AM.

I wish all I had to be upset or concerned about was a goddamned icon. (rant off)And by now, ya must know, I love for just that reason.
Some people need to remember it's a PHONE. Step away from the berry. I am sure the Verizon CSR appreciated being lambasted over a service book he/she probably had no clue about.Last edited by reeneebob; 06-29-08 at 12:27 AM.
06-29-08 12:24 AM - Um, if my internet provider popped an effin spam icon on my pc I'd be mad, just like my cell provider poppin an icon on my berry. It's the same thing, I agreed to neither. I'm not kickin in the dirt, nor am I criticizing someone that has a problem that I do not have. If you don't have any advice to give other than bury your head in the sand, then give it and move on. Why stay and try to pick a fight?Look. I have Bell's Groove Store on mine, and I deleted it, it came back.
