Facebook and Office suite preinstalled on new Gingerbread device? I just bought a Gingerbread phone and I was surprised to find Facebook and Office Suite already installed.

Do these apps come preinstalled on Gingerbread as on my previous android which was a older OS I had to download these apps. I did buy a new phone and I am just suspicious in case it isn't new!?

I apologize if this seems a stupid question.
This depends on


the manufacturer of the device
the provider where you bought your device.


The manufacturer pre-installs some applications. Also the provider may pre-install some applications.

So this does not depend on the Android version but on the manufacturer and/or provider.
