Default Delete pre-installed program?

I've bought the new SE Xperia X10 and noticed that there is a pre-installed program supernytt which is Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper. I don't want it because I live in Norway and don't have any use of Swedish news. If I want some, I go surfing the net. How do I get rid of it? I've tried several uninstallers from android market, even those who claim to uninstall pre-installed apps like this one. Please help me, I didn't pay €600 for this

If it is installed as system app (I guess so) you will need root to get rid off it.

Default Re: Delete pre-installed program?

Try installing home++ beta from the app store. It's a home replacement that I like because it is not very different from the main homescreen. Anyway, using it, put the app you want deleted on the homescreen, then long-press it and drag it down to the trash can. Without letting go, hold it over the trashcan icon until it says "drop to uninstall" or something like that. Then drop and see if it uninstalls. Not sure if this will work, but give it s try. Home++ is free from the Android Market.

SE stated in an email that; If you have "Supernytt" installed, the phone is either bought in Sweden or imported from Sweden. The Norwegian shall NOT have this app. pre-innstalled. That is the only difference between the two versions as well.
