Anyone? I'm far from a techie, but I returned the Captivate, due mostly (90%) to the fact that it had undeletable, pay-for-only, bloatware on it (from AT&T). If I try one of these again (like the Epic 4 / Sprint), I'll only do it if I know I can get rid of such bloatware.
Anyone "rooted" a Samsung Galaxy S? (Fascinate, Epic 4, Captivate, Vibrant)

This is me.
One of my users decided to root his Vibrant. I told him that it's now out of warranty. i'd rather have a warranty nowadays.
I used to try everything I could, but it's a waste. I just ignore or close the unnecessary apps using a task killer.
Jeff and BB, how do you delete the proprietary bloatware put on there by AT&T? Which app does this? Or how do you do it? I couldn't figure it out and (surprise) the AT&T store people didn't know how or wouldn't tell me how. They just said "You can't".
Specifically, "AT&T Navigator."?
I had the Task Killer app and it wouldn't delete the icon.
I won't "ignore it", for a couple of reasons, not the least of which my 8 year old nephew could hit "I agree" to the EULA when I let him play with it, and voila, I'm hit with a $2/month charge that I don't use and probably won't even discover for a few months, and they surely won't refund. But mainly, it's on principle.

I use manage applications and remove anything there or tons of uninstaller apps on the market for free
nothing I can't remove so far...but not on at&t...

Manage the applications doesn't do it.
Which phone do you have, Zombie?
I wouldn't care if it was a free app, OR if it was simply deletable until I were to choose to re-install it. But pay-for & undeletable is a bad combination for me.

I'm running the intercept from sprint - it works fine for me and it's getting 2.2
I didn't want a phone they were putting end of life, and I didn't want to pay a premium data fee for 4g when it isn't fully in OKC yet...
