can remove bloatware.

You have two options:

1) Root your device and remove them manually.

2) Wait for ICS. ICS will have a 'disable' feature that makes it so the apps do not appear on your app tray and do not run at all until they are re-enabled.

ICS! Of course, I completely forgot about that feature, shame I can't get rid of them but I'll be happy enough to hide them. I don't want to root.

Thanks, i hope one day all apps on all phones become removable though, this is like the old days of PC's when they came preloaded with rubbish!

Root and get titanium backup, then remove the apps you don't want.

I thought about rooting my Desire, but never did, but I like my phone the way it is and I really don't see the point of rooting just to remove apps, I have plenty of space for new apps, I just don't like clutter!

I also hear too many "horror" stories of rooted phones that lose functionality and features. I'd rather wait for ICS and see what happens then.

My evo is straight from HTC, it's not on a contract to a vendor.
