Finally, a way to remove the Boingo Access Points without having to reset the phone. It won't remove Boingo, but it will at least get rid of the access point the program creates: http://labs.boingo.com/blog/?p=310

Woohoo, my first star! Actually, it wasn't a find, I sent a strongly-worded email to Boingo complaining and they eventually replied with a link. I call that progress!

I have struggled for ages with that their Boingo thingy. It even stopped me using the search App. Thank you for this post.

A double Kudos for this one. I "accidentally" started Boingo after I updated to V12 (I really wanted to check if I could remove it or not, and had no intention of starting it). To my utter surprise, I was presented with a EULA screen, where I was expected to approve the license. However, there was no way to decline. The only available button at this stage was "OK", which I wasn't ready to select. From the task manager I aborted Boingo (how can they have an EULA screen where you can't decline the license conditions???). However, what was worse that even though I never approved their license, the bloody program still installed the access point. So basically, this program starts installing things, by their license, even though I don't agree to their conditions. Shouldn't that be illegal? Downloading the remover now. Thanks a million for getting them to release this.

People are confused. This application do *not* remove Boingo. It only removes the internet access point from the access point list. If you start Boingo, it will install an access point in your list which you cannot remove. The app will remove that access point. Boingo itself can't be removed (yet).

You're welcome.
As for removing those apps, you're stuck with the I'm afraid as they're currently in ROM. Would be good if Nokia let us get rid of them. I've moved them into a drawer to 'hide' them and prevent accidental launching of Boingo.
