I was in the menu for my black berry for the applications and there is a green world titles handango inhand. i never downloaded this.. why is this showing up?

Look in Options >Advanced Options >Service books and see if there is a service book for it. If so, delete it and the icon will likely go away.

and reboot needed after you've deleted the service book

I got this application as well this afternoon. Not clue where it came from, but I just noticed it after a reboot.

My Oz IM app icon is removed without a reboot after I delete it's service book. Dang thing always pushes back when i change networks, though.

so does this icon just constitute a weblink to Handango's wireless content site? has anyone actually clicked through?

(still not pleased with random content pushed through like this - new adware presented well into a service period which is not prompted by any manual update isn't too friendly.)
