Many applications are defaults we have a default for text messaging, default for browsing default for handling notes and so on. You will make to a point were you find a better program and you want to clear the default so can set a new one. So just tap on settings and in settings you then want to tap on applications and then you want to tap on manage applications and then you get a list of applications. So I will go to one where I know there is a default set. Now I know that Handcent SMS, right here is set as the default for text messages, so if I tap that takes me to this screen and right here under launch by default, says I've selected to launch this application by default for some actions I can just tap clear defaults and then its cleared, I can go back and now the next time I'm going to do a text message it will ask me which program to use and I can set a new program as my default. So this is how you can clear the default applications you can do with any application that comes up as a default and that's all there is to it.
