Can Motorola/MotoBlur Software Be Removed (Or Vanilla Android OS Be Installed)?

Hi everyone.

I've been given a Motorola Cliq 2 (Model # MB611), running Android v2.2.2 (Froyo), System v1.1.30.MB611.T-Mobile.en.US

It's been unlocked with a phone call to T-Mobile by the previous owner.

My question is, is there a way to either uninstall all the Motorola software (MotoBlur, etc) or install a generic, plain vanilla Android OS on this phone?

If either of these are possible, can you point me to the procedures to do so?

I don't like the idea of having to log into MotoBlur/Motorola UI with an email address just to use the phone. Also, I'm looking for a 'cloud' free experience.

I can't afford to go out and purchase a new, slicker phone, and this one's the best I've been able to get ahold of. It fits my needs, but this one thing reminds me of nagware at the very least.

Thanks for any suggestions.
