  How can I uninstall applications that are locked by phone vendor?  




I've just treated myself to an HTC Desire HD. I now want to get rid of quite a lot of the bloat that comes pre-installed. E.g. things like HTC's 'Stocks' widget which isn't visible on the Market and doesn't have an Uninstall option on the handsets Application Manager.

My googling around has lead me to the conclusion that to do this I'll need to root my phone and consequently invalidate my UK warranty. Is this correct or is there another way?

Thanks.
Yes, you will have to root and invalidate your warranty to remove these apps.  Most of the time however you can "un-root" and no one will be the wiser.
