This, I think, will be the major downfall of Android. Similar to the destruction of the Windows brand by letting OEMs install trialware, shovelware, etc, the carriers will do anything to make an extra buck. This is why Apple put their foot down and refused to let the carrier touch the software on the phone. And rightly so... In the carrier world we'd all have trial versions of Norton Antivirus that ask for your credit card number when you're trying to make a call... Watch, it will happen with Android. The carriers have just figured out how to write Android apps, and Google is doing nothing to force them to keep their phones clean.
