Okay, after a few apt-get remove's followed by and apt-get autoremove I was able to remove all the preinstalled China Unicom bloatware(along with the operator logo on the screen saver). My only problems now, are Accuweather not being able to install, and I'm having issues syncing my Calendar with my old n8(didn't have an issue with the prior non China Unicom firmware). I'm getting an "internal error" when I try and sync the Calendar. Contacts, notes, all work fine. hmmmm......
