I am not sure if this is possible, but within the BB Dimension Zen theme is there a way to change the BB button to bring up the applications as a list rather then display all the icons on the page? On previous BB's when using this theme as well as the default blue T-Mobile theme on the Pearl, I had this application list.

I'm wondering the same thing. I got my 8800 yesterday and while it says "Application List" it actually pulls up an icon page.

Dimension Zen was changed to have an icon display instead of the list with the Pearl. There's no option to bring it back.

FWIW, for those of us with many applications, this is a huge and welcome improvement.
