Hi and Welcome to Android!!!!

You can't remove the bloatware unfortunately. However, you can root, but as of right now there is no Root for the HTC Sensation. See this on rooting: http://www.androidcentral.com/root

Welcome aboard I think you will find quite a few BlackBerry Boat hoppers here.

Welcome - as an ex-berry person, your going to love this phone, it's my second Android and I cant ever see gong back. As soon as we get root, we can get the bloatware off our phones (sit tight, it will happen soon enough)

I came from a Blackberry Curve 8900 and 9700 and the Android platform definitely takes some getting used to. The only thing I really miss from BB is the UMA feature and speakerphone quality. The Sensation is a beast but has an extremely poor speakerphone.

Have you tried Wi-Fi calling?
It seems to work just like UMA.

Well the difference with UMA and Android WI-FI calling is once you step outside the WI-FI range your call will drop, whereas on UMA it will just switch you over to the Cellular network. UMA is a Blackberry thing though. Doubt it will make its way to Android.

Coming from a 9700 as well it does take some getting used to but this phone blows doors off of the 9700 I can't see myself going back either. Hope u enjoin your phone

And I’m a new android user (coming from BB9700) – sometimes there are apps that are running in the background and I have to kill them using ADVANCE TASK KILLER.
Is that how you are supposed to force them not to run anymore?

Task killers are bad. Use the pre-loaded HTC task killer.

Oxymoron?
Don't use task killers UNLESS an app freezes on you and won't close, then you could.

I find there to be a lot of bloatware on my HTC Sensation 4G as well. Could we change the software to stock HTC Sensation or would that cause problems? All the T-Mobile apps annoy me (I'm on Wind).

You mean stock HTC Sense(?) or perhaps stock Android? Unfortunately the answer is no, at least not until September when rootability arrives.
