Programs are not bloatware if they are part of the advertised functions of a device.

I'd argue that bloatware is defined as preinstalled software on a device that most people will not use. I don't know the numbers, but I would guess that since all of verizon's extra software (VVM, Navigator, Mobile TV, CityID, etc.) all cost extra money per month, the majority of users will just let the software sit on their phone gathering dust. So I'd say all that stuff is bloatware, even if the Imagio is defined as a "Multimedia" phone. Now if the made Mobile TV Free, then its a whole different story- I'd use it a lot more often!
