Google giveth and google taketh away, blessed be...  It's really 
bothersome when updates remove functionality, especially since no notice 
is EVER given.

Motorola installs a lot of google stuff I'd rather not have (no, I DON'T 
want a Hindi character set and I DON'T want google games or music 
or...), but no commercial apps.  Could be worse.
