Blazer Will No Longer Work After 9/22/05

Anyone else get a strange text message saying Blazer will no longer work after 9/22 with a link to a palm page that says:
"This courtesy notice is being provided to you in connection with the terms of your Blazer 2 browser end user license agreement. As of September 22, 2005, you will no longer be able to access Internet sites using the Blazer 2 browser. If you would like to download a web browser from Novarra, Inc., please complete the registration form below. You will be sent an email with information and a web link to download a new web browser."

Of course, being that it's on an I500 I have no idea who sent it.

???

Seems to use some of the same code as webpro, but some differences.--Nweb.

I got that message and thought that was a scam but I guess not. New web browser is from Novarra. I have no idea how they stop letting the browser work though. I am more interested in getting rid of the program on the i500 as I think it is built into the flash-ROM. If I cannot use a program, I don't want it in the phone and more so, I don't want to see the icon on the screen. Can anyone pitch in?

I'm not sure how to remove it from the phone but if it's not going to work anymore I'd like to remove it too.

As far as it not working I think all the browser requests go through a specific gateway - maybe they can just "turn it off"? Anyone else know a bit more on this?

It seems to me, if you didn't want to see the Icon, make a new category as Old, Dead, or Unused and move it to that. It will still be in "All." But, I use "Main" for the stuff I use most.

Move the new Icon to the page you use most.

Blazer is in ROM so it's not useing your other memory.

Anyone figure out how to move over your bookmarks from Blazer to Novarra??

Thanks for the heads-up I had not got the e-mail.
