I stopped using samsung because of the uninstallable facebook apps.

I don't get why if i'm paying multiple thousands of dollars for a phone that they still bundle what I consider spyware and give the user no option to uninstall it.

On my last Samsung I went into the settings and disabled all of the apps that I couldn't uninstall .. and when I checked the settings like 6-8 months later, those apps were still disabled, but in the meantime they had installed a few more facebook authored background apps without my permission.

I will not be going back until they stop this.

I agree. Bet apparently most other people don't.
