Sometimes you need to remove an application from your BlackBerry completely. Seems to be an obvious task and pretty to accomplish but there are actually some steps you really need to take care of. This howto is meant for people who want to remove an application from their BlackBerry and also want to delete the program settings and anything a program might have created on the BlackBerry’s internal memory. This will also help you to free some space on your BlackBerry in case you are running out space.

1. Delete the program binary from your BlackBerry
   • Connect your BlackBerry to your desktop Computer.
   • Start the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
   • Open the Application Loader.
   • Click Next.
   • Find the application you want to remove and uncheck the application’s checkbox.
   • Click Next.
   • Click Next.
   • Wait until the device is initialized again. This might take some minutes if the program you just uninstalled has put a menu item into an internal BlackBerry application and therefor requires a reboot of the device.

   This will actually just delete the program’s .cod file from your BlackBerry. The program’s configuration, most probably registration information and anything the program stored on the internal memory were not deleted.
   
   

2. Delete the program’s configuration and RecordStore (respectively PersistentStore) from your BlackBerry
   • Connect your BlackBerry to your desktop Computer.
   • Start the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
   • Open the Application Loader.
   • Click Next.
   • Find the application you want to remove and select the name of the application.
   • Click Delete and confirm.
   • Click Next.
   • Click Next.
   • Wait until the device is initialized again.

   Now you have deleted everything from your BlackBerry that might have been created by the application.

Your BlackBerry is clean now and you most probably freed some memory

This howto works with all current BlackBerry Desktop Manager versions including the brand new BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5.

A Columbia University computer science professor has co-founded a New York-based company named Sense Networks to sell tracking software to other companies. It is also distributing a free version of this software named Citysense, which shows on your cell phone where the wild things are happening in your own town. Citysense ‘uses advanced machine learning techniques to number crunch vast amounts of data emanating from thousands of cell-phones, GPS-equipped cabs and other data devices to paint live pictures of where people are gathering.’ Citysense is available today in San Francisco before being soon deployed in Chicago and five other U.S. cities

The official press release is below - for those who are interested. I prefer a video:

Vlingo Corporation today debuted a new application for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM), offering the industry’s first complete voice-powered interface based entirely on vlingo’s breakthrough speech recognition technology. Available free-of-charge*, vlingo’s BlackBerry application lets users send emails and text messages, search the Web, open applications (BlackBerry® Calendar, BlackBerry® Maps, etc.), dial their phones, look up contacts and even send notes to themselves – all with the power of voice.

“Just a few months ago, vlingo was selected to voice-enable Yahoo! oneSearchTM, which showed the world just how quick and easy mobile Web search can be with the power of voice,” said Dave Grannan, CEO of vlingo. “Vlingo takes this technology beyond Web search into everyday applications that are now instantly more usable and easier to find because you only need to think about one button and a few spoken words. Vlingo believes that we can immediately improve the way every person interacts with their wireless device and the BlackBerry platform is the perfect place to start our aggressive expansion strategy here in the U.S. and abroad.”

Vlingo is easy to use. BlackBerry smartphone users can simply press the side “convenience” key on their handset, which lets them speak commands into the phone. Available beginning today, vlingo gives BlackBerry smartphone users voice control over the most commonly used applications, including:

• Voice Dial. Initiate calls to anyone in your address book.
• Text Message. Send text messages without typing.
• Email. Simply speak “Email John Smith” to start an email on-the-go, and you can speak the body of the message as well.
• Applications. Open calendar, maps, etc.
• Address Book. Search for contacts without typing.
• Web Search. Look up anything online in one step. Just say, “Web search: concert tickets in Boston,” and the results are displayed.
• Note2Self. Send yourself a reminder in the form of an email, task or text message.

Vlingo gives BlackBerry smartphone users control over mobile information and tasks with the power of their voice. Users do not need to change how they speak or memorize a list of commands. They can say what they want, how they want, and vlingo captures the results – word for word. Vlingo’s voice-enabling technology provides users with a simple way to access almost anything on their handset. With the most accurate system on the market that gets even better as more users join the community, vlingo gives users the ability to freely mix typing and talking with no limits on what they can say.

Vlingo is currently supported on the BlackBerry® Pearl™, BlackBerry® Curve™ and BlackBerry® 8800 series smartphones. Vlingo will be adding additional devices and operating systems in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. A demo video of the new vlingo BlackBerry application is available at
http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1620628573. Vlingo is available for download, free-of-charge* at http://www.vlingo.com/vlingo/download.jsp.

We have downloaded, installed and tested the new BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5 from RIM with serveral devices including the BlackBerry 8100 Pearl, BlackBerry 8800, and BlackBerry 8320 Curve. It seems to work pretty well and it is definitely a step forward. Previous versions sometimes just crashed or showed up with the weird error messages. Don’t get me wrong, they were working at all, but they were just not really “perfect”. Anyway, here are the screenshots we made:

The new manager looks cleaner and is - imho - quite easy to use. An upgrade is highly recommended; you can download it over here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/#tab_tab_desktop
