was playing with my new Razr tonight wondering what to do with the bloatware and guess what...now just go to the app drawer, long press on the app you do not want, and if it can be uninstalled, you will see that option, if not, you get the option to hide it....now this has been a long time coming!
 
Wow that is nice! No need to go all the way into applications and go through five steps to uninstall it. Very nice! And I really like the option to hide the ones you can't delete. That way you keep you're app drawer clean and tidy. :)
 
Thats great!!!! I do wish you could create folders like you can on the iPhone to organize apps.
 
I may be misunderstanding - but on my original Droid I've always able to do a long touch on an empty place in a window and choose Folder - I've named them for a lot of varieties of apps. Does this not work on the Razr?

You can. Go into your app draw then click on the "All apps" that is in the top left corner, you'll get a pop up menu. In that menu you can click on the green plus sign next to "New Group" and create a group say Games. To add programs to that new group, long press a program in the APP draw and then select "Add to group" and select the group you want. Once you do that you can click the "All Apps" icon at the top of the app draw again and select each group you only want to see.

If you want folder on your desktop, long press anywhere on your desktop that there is no icon and select "Folders" then click "New Folder" it will place a folder on your desktop. To rename it, tap on the folder to open it, then long press the title bar at the top of the folder window where the current name is and it should go right into the "Rename folder" action. To add programs to it, you can drag icons on your desktop ontop of the folder and they will be placed in that folder. To take them out of the folder, go into the folder and long press the icon and then select "Move to home" to put it on your home screen or remove it from your folder where it will delete the shortcut (it won't delete the program).

Android has had this for a while..
