OMFG the bloatware.:hmm:
None of the apps that come with it can be uninstalled. Many are integrated, so for example, i have spent half hour unsuccessfully trying to NOT use chrome to launch a browser.
The YouTube app somehow wants to run every time i go to youtube and won't let me in the website via the browser.
One of the 4 front pages of the phone is some flip-through-news app that i cannot shut down and keep syphoning bandwith and data.
Taming this bloated beast is gonna take me some time; i'm reeeeally looking forward to a rooting app (not that i have ever rooted a phone, but how hard can it be), because the hardware under the hood is amazing ( and the screen is a beaut; the headphones suck, though)
