Over time many people’s BlackBerrys become cluttered with applications, making it hard to find what you want when you want it. Thankfully, there’s an alternative to removing seldom-used applications: you can hide them! Occasionally one of these hidden applications becomes important and you’ll want to unhide it so you can have easier access to it.
