I've deleted the following system bloatwares:
1mobile market
Amazon kindle
AndroidGamesApp (wild tangent)
Ask search
Briefme
Czcupdate (apk & odex)
Dropbox
Tuneinfree
UG
Userguide
Viewscene
No need to worry at all. Just keep a copy of the apk, and you can put it back any time.
Also made some tweaks to the Build.prop
Running smooth and fast now, more free RAM, no problem so far.
It's so beautiful and value for money!
Others had given up too early. What a pity!

But it seems that we are still not any closer to getting basic tutorials for things such as iplayer, youtube etc.
I am having trouble with both the above, to the point that im thinking of selling up and just go back to my old netbook which does everything and much much more.
