Phone upgraded but wrong applications

Yesterday I just sent my phone to a phone shop to upgrade my x10 to android 2.1 but when i receive my phone i realize all my applications are china applications such as youku, QQ etc. But I don't need those, I want facebook, twitter etc. Btw, the market button is missing also. =(
Any suggestion of how to switch back the applications list? :)
 
I would think that you would either need to bring it back to whom ever did it for you, since they obviously failed to do the work to your satisfaction, or YOU are going to have to do the work that they did, basically all over again. If it were just a language issue, I think that could be easily resolved, but they have all the apps and the OS incorrect, so more needs to be done. So, if you do not want to have them fix it, I think you are looking at reflashing your phone. I just went through all of that and it is difficult to wrap your head around the concept if you have never dealt with it, but once you see how it works, it becomes much easier.

I'm sure someone with more experience in this area may have another suggestion, but the above represents my 2 cents.. Can you just bring it back and have them correct their mistake????
 
Take it back and say you don't want chinese apps on it, unless you are actually in china then that's the reason (but I doubt it as they have that massive firewall)
Gunny is right you'll have to reflash or get them to do it market is closed source proprietary software so you won't be able to download it anywhere. You could probably download facebook and twitter from somewhere and delete the other ones but you'd still have no market.
