Wireless carriers push out service book updates to their BlackBerry users all the time, and those updates are often meant to improve the performance of your device; however, some carriers take the opportunity to distribute apps, or links to download full--and not always free--versions of programs, along with the legitimate updates.
To delete them, open your BlackBerry Options, scroll to Advanced Options and click it. On the following page, scroll to Service Book and open that menu.
On the Service Book page, you'll see a variety of listings that start with a check mark and end with some text in brackets, like so: "Check Mark" WikiMobile VPL 9000 [BrowserConfig]. You'll note an individual listing for each and every carrier-supplied app or service that was pushed to your device.
To erase the carrier-supplied icons, simply delete the associated service book listing. To do so, scroll over the listing, hit your BlackBerry Menu key--located directly to the left of your trackball--and choose Delete.
The service book entry for AT&T's Media Mall looks like this to BlackBerry Bold 9000 users:
"Check Mark" Mall VPL 9000 [BrowserConfig]
Delete it and the Media Mall icon on your BlackBerry icon screen disappears. Follow this process for each and every icon you want to erase, and your device will be clean of unwanted carrier-clutter in no time.
Note: As mentioned above, you'll need to repeat this process every time you reboot your device and whenever AT&T decides to "re-push" those service books--at least if you want to be rid of the carrier apps and services.
