I have the atnt variant and there is a decent amount of bloatware: standard atnt apps then a few random games. most games and apps can be uninstalled but others are built into the phone and need to be disabled. either way disabled or uninstalled they can be gone out of the way
There is alot, from video services, to games, and news feeds, plus at&t apps. Fortunately all can be uninstalled or disabled. Basically after set up, plug your phone in and let it install everything, then go into the app drawer and uninstall or disable everything you don't want.
