Default removing "bloat" in wm 6.5 and carrier software, mostly the latter

hi,
just got first winmo phone, have been avid computer user for years, but never had felt like getting a pda or smartphone, until now.

I want to find a whole new home-cooked ROM to flash, which is, obviously, good. have the htc imagio, and in searching have not found hardly anything, so may put that on back burner for now.

Meanwhile there is lots of stuff I don't want on the phone, namely all the carrier's software, it pops up at annoying times with an advertisement, and i'm not going to use it anyway, and it's taking up space, and possibly resources. I just saw, before I registered, a post including some info, but can't find it now. I've done a bunch of searches and come up with similar tasks, but on different phones and different os's. i've also come across the infamous "this is posted everywhere" post, but nevertheless I am not able to find anything specific to my phone. i want to remove stuff like touch flo, mobile email, visual voice mail, vznavigator, city id, and so on.

thanks for anyhelp,
rlr
