If you love Android but hate AT&T's bloatware and restrictive policies on third-party applications then fear no longer. BriefMobile has released full instructions on how to unbrand and remove all things AT&T from your Samsung Captivate while adding support for third party applications. If your unsure what i am talking about with AT&T's restrictions on Android and third party applications then check it out here. Performing this process could be risky as you could brick your phone. If you follow the instructions you should be fine however. There are two reasons for doing this. One being to remove the 15, yes 15, bloatware applications that AT&T has forced on its users. Why doesn't the iPhone have 15 bloatware applications? Who knows, but thats the right way. The second and better reason is the ability to install third-party applications. This ability will give you the real unrestricted Android as its meant to be. Try this at your own risk, don't brick your new phone now! Source
