I meant the VM menu where you can check your balance, VRewards, etc. It definitely leaves something on the phone, because I still get the menu with my vc sim in the phone. OTOH, it doesn't actually do anything when I select it, so I guess it just installs the menu item on the phone, and not an actual app.
I'll remove it from the menu, but it's still a bit annoying because it's still in my programs list (I've got a HTC Wizard, so it's a bit different from normal phones). And reflashing the phone is out of the question - it's a WM5 pda and phone, so I've got way too much time and energy invested in customisations to even consider restoring it to the defaults! VM customer care said to put in the VM sim, then choose 'options' and 'delete'... but there is no option or delete items on the menu.
Guess I'll just have to live with it being in the programs menu but at least not the start menu.
