Sorry if this is a noob question, but I did a search and didn't find an answer directly to this question I have.

On my 8830 (v4.2.2.176) from my company (BES) I have two browsers. One globe has a lock, and it's got the company name on it. The other is just called "internet browser" and appears to be Sprint's doing (it has the powerdeck homepage).

Do I need both? Can I delete one? Problem is that they have different home pages (and I like the carrier browser's home page better). It seems like bookmarks are common for both, so if I don't remove one, do I just make sure settings (and homepage) are the same and forget about it?

Not the worlds biggest problem, just a little confusing. Thanks!

hmm, delete one?
i dont think so....

i was on BES for a while and noticed that sometimes the BES browser would work when the "Internet Browser" wouldnt, and vice-versa...

either way, i dont believe the 2 icons are really 2 different apps; they just represent the 2 different browsing service books (one from carrier, one from BES) that are enabled on your device...

you could hide one if its bothering you...

Thanks breakerfall, I will try that. Will just hide one and make sure their option settings are the same.

I found a little more through trial and error, and "hiding" one browser doesn't seem to address.

I received a link to an internal intranet site and clicked it. The non-corporate browser launched and failed to open the site (got a 503 error). Then I opened the corporate browser and pasted the address in with the go to function and viola, it worked no problem.

So, new questions:
1) Is there's any value in retaining the non-corporate browser?
2) Can I remove it so that it isn't launched when I don't want it to be (e.g., following an email link)?
3) Or can I otherwise change options so that links are opened with the corporate browser so I don't have this problem?

Thanks

someone else may have to chime in here, since im not on BES anymore...

Browser, Options, General Properties, Default Browser

Thanks! That seems to take care of my main issue, I appreciate it.

Am I missing any value to the non-corporate one? I think I will now hide it and forget about it.

id say maybe, just _maybe_ the sites you visit wouldnt be logged on the BES (where _everything_ can be logged) when browsing with the non-corporate one...
