Jibi, did I say that there should be an English only version? No. I merely said that the software should be written so as to "ask what languages you [i.e., the user] want[s]," with the obvious consequence that only those languages would be loaded. NJBlackBerry, how would a carrier risk losing customers by allowing them an easier option to not load unneeded languages?
Of course, not everyone speaks English. That's why my Pearl came loaded with language files for UK English, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, French, Catalan, Greek, Turkish, Swedish, and German. Did I forget any? My Pearl runs blazing fast now with all of this crap deleted (plus the preloaded ringtones and preloaded pictures deleted]. I just thought that others could benefit from this, and many don't have the time/interest to do it themselves.
