Pre packaged aps

[Girevik]

I'm kind of condering about the aps that comes on the Captivate from AT&T. Are there any that will ring up additional charges to us? For instance, I thought that the AT&T navigator was an addon. Will it (or anything else) cost money if I haven't subscribed to the service?

No, they won't unless you open and use them.

you could use att navigator and then dispute the charge because it didnt work.

As long as you don't use them, you're safe. All the ones I went into made it clear at the beginning that there'd be charges if I continued.

To be safe, you can hide them with LauncherPro, or deactivate them with Titanium Backup. See the Captivate FAQ:

Where will add itself to your bill even if you don't accept the terms and cancel out of the app.

This was not my experience.

That was my main concern....opening something to see what it did and getting stuck with charge. Is there a way to find out which ones that would be so I coluld just hid them?

It did it to me twice. Why I opened it a second time I don't recall, but I had to remove it from my bill twice. The second time required a call to AT&T.

Once again, I refer you to the Captivate FAQ:
Non-free stock apps - CapFAQ

Always worth checking there first.
