Removing some pre-installed apps

[sdpk]

Is it possible to remove pre-installed apps.  Some seem to launch themselves even though I'm not going to use them.  Specifically I am not finding a way (the uninstall button is not active) for CityID, AmazonMP3 and the Blockbuster apps - any ideas?

To my knowledge no, {edit for TOS violation}

You cannot remove that stuff {edit for TOS violation}

I really wish there was a way to uninstall/remove preinstalled apps. I find this incrediblely annoying that you can't do so!  argh

Actually I can't see whom kudos are from. The kudos are all messed up   Temp glitch.... Maybe it was my twin that gave me the kudos....maybe it was a nice person just coming along & doing it.

I couldnt resist.

it is strongly suspected that motorola gets a kickback for allowing this apps to come "pre-loaded".  I have read, that you can remove the apps, but upgrades could fail if the apps aren't present.

My advise...just forget it and don't use them.  it annoy's me too, but you can't really do anything about - except complain.

It is like computers you buy from big box stores... it is advertisement that they sell.

True.....but at least on the computers you can uninstall the programs that come with your computer. Like internet explorer or MSN is installed on all the windows computer I have noticed. A person can uninstall it though by going through control panel.

You actually don't get rid of internet explorer.  If you notice if you open up you "explorer" it looks exactly the same and internet explorer.  They only thing they do is remove some code, but it's too far intergrated into windows.  Was more-so when you had XP if you uninstalled it I had my windows go super buggy on me.

You can do it on this phone too, but it violates the contract.... you don't really have a contract with use of your computer.

More like violates warranty

[Cobjones]

That too.. but if you do that to your phone (unless you bought it outright) violates contract as well

[Cobjones]

Yes let me scan and upload the contract?

Do you have otherwise?

No matter how many times (every day) I am prompted to update Apps that I don't use, I NEVER will.
