If you go through the prepaid carriers there's a lot more bloat. If you go through the prepaid carriers first thing you have to do after uninstalling all the bloat is to also uninstall a system app called mobile service manager which allows them to add bloat.
Honestly it's criminal that carriers are even allowed to have the mobile service app buried deep in system apps were non-tech savvy user isn't even going to know what it is or how to get rid of it or what it does.
First time I ever discovered the scourge called the mobile service manager was actually on a postpaid LG v60 from AT&t which is a great phone. But it had mobile service manager and it would allow AT&t to just put apps on my phone that I didn't want mostly crappy games.
It spooked me I thought I might have got malware or something but I looked into it and it's actually been around for a while and you can disable the mobile service manager. It shouldn't exist.

You can also get it for free from straight talk which is a verizon-based MV&l so it'll unlock in 60 days.
But either way I'm pretty pumped about what Motorola's been doing I love their colors. I love the faux leather back. It's got an excellent stock launcher with super cool gestures. I got my first Motorola phone this year and I just am so glad there's a decent phone out there with a headphone jack and an SD card

The Power 2024 should be for BM.

Out of the box, there's just the Moto Apps and a FB stub (link to the program installer, is uninstallable.) However once you put it on wifi, it downloads the Moto App Store which then automatically downloads 5 random apps (news, games). You can uninstall the random apps. The Moto App Store is not uninstallable, but you can disable it and it won't download junk.
