One of the most frustrating things in OS 6 was not being able to control what panels you wanted on the home screen.  Sure some may feel they were all a necessity, but it’s always good to keep the option open for those who prefer to eliminate some.  Thankfully in OS 7 you can manage what panels you want.  Some may prefer the classic look with just a drop down list of all apps, while others may want to take Favorites tab out or any other.

To manage your panels, simply hit the BlackBerry menu button on the home screen and you’ll see the option called Manage Panels.  That’s what you want to click.  After that you’ll see a simple list of all the panels where you can uncheck/check what you want or don’t want there.  Easy as that.  For those already customizing their panels, which have you eliminated?
