I heard on an unboxing video that some pre-installed bloatware/apps are able to be uninstalled finally. Is this true? Wasn't allowed to on a non rooted Inspire.

Yes I believe you can uninstall all the bloatware that you choose on the Vivid and most new Android phones that are being released

Thanks. Hopefully someone with the Vivid will confirm for sure.

Yes. Most of the bloatware can be removed. Only one I couldn't remove that I didn't want is the visual voicemail app.

Most of it can't be removed! Can't wait for root.

I'm an HTC Vivid owner. I'm able to uninstall every AT&T bloatware app except for AT&T Navigator. I didn't try and remove Visual Voicmail because I actually like it.

How did you uninstall the bloatware? I can't uninstall anything other then Qik Lite and MOG Music. City ID is some BS 10 day trial that you can't uninstall either. Most of this crap I won't use, thank goodness for all the memory space. All I can do with the other bloatware is just uninstall the updates.
