Usually you would have to root your phone to do this... http://androidforums.com/desire-hd-...install-custom-rom-desire-hd.html#post2819935

EDIT - my phone was Orange UK branded and had a load of Orange bloatware on it (e.g. games like block buster or something like that)... I downgraded to an HTC stock ROM, which actually got rid of the carrier branded rubbish and then rooted my phone to install custom roms on there!!

D-U-R-X is right. Its not worth the effort to be honest.

Yeah - to be honest, they don't take up that much room, so shouldn't affect the phone too much.

Getting rid was actually one of the reasons I rooted my phone, but I also wanted to install custom ROM's too and have full control over it.

It's not actually that difficult, but can seem a little daunting if you've never heard of/done it before.

Beware - it does void the warranty of your phone if you root it!

Not to remove them, as far as I'm aware... I think you can get an app that "freezes" the pre-installed apps that you can't remove... this would mean that they can't access the phone, so can't have any drain effect on the battery.
