I don't really have a list, but seeing as we have different carriers, I'm sure our lists of bloatware apps would be different.
But what I did on my AT&T version was went into Settings --> Application Manager. From there look at the factory and carrier installed apps. You should see a "Turn Off" button under the Uninstall Updates. I used that. It doesn't remove them, but it does disable any power-eating background tasks that they would do. When you turn off the app, it moves those apps to the bottom of the list and adds another tab to the far right of the Application Manager called "Turned Off" so that you can turn them back on if you want to.
