Hold your finger on the App till it shakes, then press the little x in the corner

If you hold your finger down on the applications, they start to shake.

Then click the "x" and you can delete them.



Can you delete/hide the apps that come with it [like calculator or notes] as they don't show up with the "x"??

And if it has been sync'd with the computer delete them off there too or it will just reinstall them when its next plugged into it.

No it won't.

But to delete the apps, hold down the icons until they start to wiggle, then press the little 'x' in the corner.

So can you delete the apps that are pre-installed and don't come up with the little "x" when they wiggle??

I don't think so, but you can delete the other apps by holding down the icon until they 'wiggle', then press the little 'x'. HTH!

But I might want to hide them!? I just wondered because it's easy to do on the crackberry.

Sorry mate, can you just run me through that again? Hold down on the app until it makes what sound? then oh... I'll look on you tube. It's all too confusing
