@sovok_ I do realize it was meant to be that way -- to an extent -- and that consumers have the right to avoid the phones with crapware. It's my job to point it out so that everyone gets it. happy

The problem is that there's also some really good phones with a lot of crapware, like the HTC EVO 4G. And the default install with all of that junk is a battery-life killer.

Android handset makers and carriers need to pay more attention to the default user experience and spend less time trying to shove apps that makes them extra money at the users.
