Actually a first time Blackberry user, not just Bold. Sorry for the very basic questions, but I did try to google and went through the topics here but no luck :cry:

1) Can we only set 1 alarm clock? Reason is that I always need my weekday alarm clock for work (which I do not touch them), and then another alarm for any other besides that.

2) I installed an application eg. Whatsapp. I decide that I do not want it anymore. I went to the icon, and deleted it. Is it just deleted in surface because I want to have it entirely deleted including installer, etc.
I went to my Blackberry App World --> My World. I scrolled down and it's still at Uninstalled. How do I clear the Uninstalled as well?

3) In camera, what does the icon on the left of camera button does? When I click it says "Finding location...".

That's all for now, I am still waiting for my number to port before I get my BIS, I'm sure I will have more questions then :o

You need 3rd party software from app world to set multiple alarms.
Deleting the icon delete the app unless you choose not to restart when prompted, if so it will be uninstalled completely on next reboot.
The location is GeoTaggin, saves the gps coordinates into the pics exif dta which can be read by applications like picasa

So if it is unstalled completely, there should be no trace of it? Will there be still an installer in my phone?
Hmm need to find out what's GeoTaggin, have not tried Picasa :) Thanks!

Cool, will try that out. What is good for accurate weather reports? That I can see for the next 7 days at least?

Once restarted yes no trace, apps like WA run in memory which needs to be flushed and like pcs not all can be done until power is lost.

Geotagging puts the geographical location of the photo in the photos data, so in apps like picasa which have the reader built in you can view the data on a map, so if you go on holiday the data of where the pic was taken, say california beach, that data will be saved in the images data and can be recalled and plotted by most apps, its literally just extra info.

After I restart, I go to Blackberry App World --> My World.
Under the tab Uninstall, I can still see it although cannot use it. Does that still mean that it has no trace?
