Is there a way?

To wipe the bloatware out and install a stock Android OS on VZ Smartphones?

I look at smartphones the same way I look at laptops. Sell me the damn hardware and a data plan, and let me sort out the software!

The only way I was able to get full functionality out of my iPhone 3g was to jailbreak it and install the apps I wanted. If it can be done with a locked-down iPhone, can't it be done with a phone running open source Android? After all, isn't that what open source is all about?

Yes. It is called rooting the phone.

You can remove bloatware with root access. You won't be able to install stock Android on all devices. It depends on what the manufacturer does to lock down the device.
