Is there a way to get rid of all those apps on my 3d that come on my phone without rooting it? Apps such as blockbuster and some of the other ones. I would root but don't know a thing about it lol. If I could I would, but I can't. Thanks

Nope. No way to get rid of them without rooting. But once the ICS updates comes, ICS will allow you to hide apps, so at least you won't see them in your drawer.

Menu,settings,applications,manage applications,all,select blockbuster and then select uninstall. It won't remove it completely but will remove it from the app drawer. You can do this to almost all the bloatware on the phone.

I've done this with Blockbuster, NASCAR, etc., yet they still show up in the Marketplace as installed and needing manual updates. I wish there was a way to completely get rid of them without rooting.

Rooting is quite easy once you read everything you need to do! After you root you will never look at a phone the same again.

I have rooted a tablet, so I know I can do it. I just don't particulary want to do it again, especially if it involves having to wipe everything first.
