Bloatware Without Root?

[DMackey2]

Is it possible to remove the bloatware (i.e. kindle, Blockbuster, VZ navigator, etc), without rooting the phone?

Thank you.

Sort of...

If you use Launcher Pro, you can hide the unused/uneeded app icons in your app drawer. Out of sight, out of mind.

In addition, there are directions for deleting the Verizon bookmarks in the browser floating around the forums.

No problem.

Unfortunately, those bloatware apps still suck resources without being properly removed. =(

Yeah. Like with Skype, BlockBankrupt, CityID and the like. They are always listed in active/running tasks and I never use them.

I am sure battery life would improve a bit if we could just remove these things.
