Running through the comments of the past few days I found this one by Nick R.. He has an obnoxious globe logo next to his message icon, and wonders how to get rid of it. Honestly, I’ve never seen this logo before. Nick explained that he got it when he tried to load a webpage in a non-service area. His Bold prompted him to save the search so he could retrieve it once in a service area. Now he says it won’t go away. If you’ve had this problem, read on.
This is a saved search. I had never seen the logo before because, well, I’ve never saved a Web search before. As you can see in the screenshot to the right, it’s nothing more than an icon, much like your message or BlackBerry Messenger icon.
Getting rid of it should only entail clicking on the saved search, which appears in your main messages folder. Barring that, though, you could always just hit Menu when highlighting it and hit delete. Either way, the icon should go bye bye once you do either. If that doesn’t work, may I suggest a battery pull?

I get that exact globe icon on my Bold when the weather is pushed to my device via my in-box. Viewing the message makes the icon disappear.

Guys — this icon is for a “Browser push message”. Thats the correct term.
This same icon was driving me mad..
scroll through all your messages… one will have an icon of the globe bside it..
click on the message,follow the link and the notification will be gone !
Thank you very much for this. It helped!
Have had this Storm(9530) for about a week and one problem continues. When using the 9530 to place a call, a number of folks have commented that my voice is muffled no matter in which position I hold the phone. A call to both the 1-800 help line and taking it into my local VERIZON sales/service store confirm the same thing. The voice is understandable but it muffled. The VERIZON store tells me that BB is aware of the proble but the 1-800 help line says my voice in muffled but understandable but they are not aware of any such problem at BB.
Any help to correc the situation???
I’ve got nothing, Retired. Have you installed the latest OS update? I’m not sure that would help, but it’s worth a try.
Otherwise, is anyone else experiencing this problem?
