This may warrant its own thread, but why does RIM make such heavy OS upgrade's. I went through the .69 package and removed 224 of 422 .cod files - most of them support for non-English languages, preloaded media (video and pics) and apps I don't want (PTT, Blackberry Maps).

I know that additional languages can be deleted with the apploader, but why should people have to do this manually? Couldn't they just ask what languages you want. Plus, why not give people the option to delete the preloaded pictures?

The guy in the next office has a pearl with free device memory of only about 6 MB. That's ridiculous.
