"From time to time, we will provide new apps to our customers in conjunction with a software maintenance release. Also, Sprint, in conjunction with Google, is taking steps to develop a technical solution that would allow customers to remove any unwanted applications that have been preloaded or pushed in an over-the-air software update."

Not much of an "internet security and privacy" reporter, eh wot? Best Screen Protector BOO5TED Who Dat?
