You have 2 ways of removing the app, and both ways require you to root the phone.

1. Download Terminal Emulator from market
2. Use ADB SHELL from Android SDK

In either one, you send these commands:

Code:
 
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/mntblock4 /system
rm /system/app/Sprint_VVM.apk
mount -o ro,remount /dev/mntblock4 /system
exit
exit
