Preinstalled Apps

I have purchased a Motorola the other day(upgraded from the Eris). I first noticed it was already loaded with some Apps. Blockbuster, Skype, City Id, Kendle ,Amazon MP3, VZ Navigator, Car Dock and a few others. Some of this I like and some I will never use. I first looked and opened them to see if I liked or would use them. Then I went to uninstall the ones I will not be using to find the uninstall button is grayed out. Called Verizon they had told me they could not be uninstalled and if I removed them it would void the warranty. I accept the fact they put this Apps on there to help reduce the price but let us remove them if we do not want them. CityId is not an app you can use with out buying it and Car dock opens every time I dock it in the car. The Car Dock is an ok app but I use another app for docking and it gets in the way. There is not a way to disable the Car Dock. Verizon tried to justify the installed apps by telling me new computers do the same. This is true BUT they let me uninstall want I do not want. VERY ARGROVATING

Hate to tell you this, but don't waste your time. Unfortunately, these pre-installed apps can not be deleted. It stinks, I know. That is one thing that most of us are upset about, but so far, nothing can be done to change the situation. Sorry!

You could always go back to the Eris. A much smaller list of pre-installed apps for that phone.

:-P

Well as for the preinstalled apps, you are out of luck on removing them without voiding warrenty but as for the dock app you can download from free a app from the market called Dock Nothingness that allows you to override the dock auto launch app when placed in the dock, I use this and I love it because I think the Stock Dock app in useless.
