Default Safe to remove apps?

Is there a thread of Apps that are safe to remove from the G2 or will they just reappear after root is lost? Specifically photobucket and others that are not removable out of the box.

Right now they will just come back after a reboot.... if you can remove them at all.

If your phone is NOT rooted, and you can't remove the app, then it will come back if you root your phone and remove the app.

The only apps that you can permanently remove are apps that you installed.

No, T-Mobile has decided you will use it. So it stays....

At least Facebook doesn't pop **** up like Photobucket....

I wish i knew why Amazon MP3 would start running at random times.

You can stop that in the settings, but this is one of the half-dozen reasons I returned the phone.
