The carrier has disabled the ability to delete pre-installed apps.

Google, in Android 4.1.2, has disabled the ability to move apps
to the 32GB sdcard.

So, when you say 'why don't you just delete the apps', what
you're asking is "why not root the phone", which is what I'm
exploring before I give it away as a gift.

The phone was always intended as a gift (as my Samsung Galaxy S3
doesn't exhibit this problem). But, at the moment, it's a useless
$200 paperweight that I would never have bought had the carrier
advertised it for what it is, which is a 600MB phone for apps.

Unfortunately, it appears that unlocking the bootloader on the
P769 is one of the more difficult phones to unlock:
