[maemo-users] app manager trouble

[From: Tanuva]

Hello Brian,

I cannot really help you but want to warn you not to uninstall 
preinstalled applications from the N900. I did that with the media 
player once just to find it wasn't in the repositories so I had to 
reflash the device to have it again. Be careful! :)
