Yes. I have almost all of Verizon's bloatware disabled and no bad side effects

Just as an FYI, you may have to uninstall updates before you see the disable button on some system apps.

Question - which apps are VZW and which can be disabled?

I disabled vzw navigator and the backup app that always tried to upload stuff without my permission.

So how do you disable these applications?
Press 'All apps', press 2nd soft key from the left, press 'Remove app', press 'all' on the top right, scroll to desired and press it, select 'disable' on the right.
