So the obvious question here for the official company representatives’ reply is why?
Are they not able to be removed due to some contractual obligation or some other reason? A lot of these applications like Blockbuster and City ID I will never use and it kind of upsets me that I am forced to keep them eating up space on my device when I could use that space in the future for things I do have an interest in.
I am not a Verizon rep. but I do have have a firm grasp of the obvious. Any application that Verizon forces upon you will earn Verizon money in one of 2 ways:
1. It will tempt you to use more Verizon paid services.
2. Verizon earns an advertising income from the company that owns the service being peddled.
As stated above, it all has to do with revenue for Verizon. The only way to get around that issue is to do something that is not allowed to discuss in this forum.

Yeah I figured all that out. But I guess I am old fashioned. I feel that part of good customer service is giving your customers what they want (within reason). And being able to control the software installed on a phone that I OWN seems reasonable to me.
I don't want to have to hack a phone I OWN to have it the way I want it. It should never be necessary to have to go that far.
Agree with you 100%

Even with computers that are loaded down with bloatware the owner can uninstall the crap and have a reasonablely clean system.
Yes forcing bloatware on something you own is ridiculous. The hold up with the Froyo update was all over bloat and Bing. I can imagine if the GingerBread ever comes for the Fascinate it will be delayed in the same manner.
If you own it and don't want it you should have the choice of deleting it .
So true, you can usually remove all the stuff that comes with your name brand pc. But then when you have to reimage that PC, unless you created a separate image, you get all that junk back again.
