Default Bloatware removal?

Hey, just wondering what apps can be deleted from all this bloatware that came with the phone? Hopefully this thing gets rooted soon so we can get rid of the rest but I know there's a few we can delete now.

I think it's just the game demos at this point. Nothing else will let you uninstall it.

The game demos, and City ID.

To remove CityID you have to wait for the trial to be over, or you have to cancel the trial.

IF you open the app when the trial is over it'll ask to subscribe or to remove the app.

IF you open the app while the trial is active I believe you have a choice to stop the trial and then it'll ask if you want to remove the apps. I removed mine the day I got my D3 so I don't remember what it looked like.

You can always use LP to hide the bloat, that should carry you over somewhat.

Yeah, and you can kind of hide it in the stock drawer too, but that doesn't do any good for the space it takes up or for the battery usage (because some of it will run in the background on it's own from time to time).
