Delete pre-installed apps?

[Jeffgothro]

I just bought my first phone ever, so far I'm not overly impressed, it's about as stable as win98. The built in gmail is crap...if I send mail from gmail webpage I have no. problem, but if I send it from the phone I get errors or the mail floats off into space, who knows where it goes. Is there a way to un-install all this junk, there are at least 10-15 applications on this phone I have absolutely no use for and just eat up battery and ram? Update, was reading some other forums and I guess you can't really, or you have to hack the crap out of your phone...to bad I guess, they should make an Android lite version, I don't need Facebook, Twitter, nfl, stocks, nascar, or another half a dozen apps that came with the phone.

If you root your phone and install titanic backup you can use that to uninstall from the phone. If you've not rooted, the answer unfortunately is "no, you can't remove'em".

The whole point of Android, is anything is possible, there are many developers putting out "better" solutions than Sprint. You are NOT tied to Sprint.

Relax, learn all you can, and you can make your phone behave any way you want
