Remove android applications

[hmart]

Why it is not possible to remove gmail, youtube, google talk and so on from my android device. Those applications are a waste of space from my phone and I cannot install applications that I use and really want to install!

You can remove them, Your phone need to be rooted

Lets see, Android is part of GOOGLE, Gmail, Youtube, Google talk are ummm GOOGLE services, its OBVIOUS that those apps must be there, unless you live in China, you have 2 options

1) root your phone and uninstall them

or 

2) flash a Chinese firmware 

just remember without a Google account you are NOT going to be able to download apps, which defeats the purpose of a Smartphone
