Can I remove stock icon?

Have an Iphone 3GS for two months, anyway I can remove the stock icon on my phone? Thanks in advance.

Not without jailbreaking. You can make a folder and put the icon(s) into it to get them out of the way, or you can move them to a page of their own.

Thanks for your reply. I am a new iphone user. What does jailbreak mean, please? Thanks again.

It's basically a way of unlocking most of the restrictions that Apple has put into their operating system for the iPhone. It's not without its possible problems, but many, many people have done it. I personally have not. See here for stickies and discussion:

iPhone Jailbreaking - iPhone Forum

Asking specifically about the process in that forum will get you the answers you need if you want to investigate it further.
