You can use the switch device wizard to transfer the apps to your replacement. However any apps that are licensed via your pin (you paid for an app and had to give your pin) you will need to email the vendor and see if they will transfer the license to your new pin.
You beat me to it ;)Quote:

Thanks for a such quick response guys.
Striker there is a little easier way with MobiHand :)Quote:

Mobi allows you to do this once, after that you will have to email them. On my last replacement it took them 3 days to return my email, which meant I couldn't use any of my apps for those 3 days.
If he had bought a few from CB, he could log into the account and change the info. Make sure to input the right info, if not, then you'd have to call or email em.
Thanks for the tip BDRAGON.
BD no matter where he bought them CB or us as long as it is through Mobihand they will be in this account page. if you log into your mobiand account page through our store it will show all the apps you have purchased no matter where :) . It is a great feature MobiHand offers :)Quote:

No you can use Handigo and few others. In fact handigo has a mobile store (similar to bb app world)Quote:

Absolutely...BBSwiss Army Knife will wipe that device clean. I would do a wipe instead of a factory reset. This will erase Os and any 3rd party apps and leave the device with 507 error. If you do the security wipe application that on your device and select erase 3rd party apps this will take care of your original question as well.Quote:

Good Luck
