Since we don't have our own guide as of yet...I wonder what applications, are 'safe to remove' from this device without repercussions. I've already been dealt a nasty hand by LG for removing certain applications that cause the phone to brick. Luckily, we have enough recoveries to go through Armageddon.
Since it's a direct upgrade, successor, replacement for the original Hydro, I'm looking at this thread here...

A lot of those applications appear once again on the Edge, with the occasional one or two removed, or having been replaced by something completely different.
Here is a list of all the applications found under Device, system/app
