Goodbye carrierIQ, hello new tracking software you are unaware of

I won't believe it's fully gone until xda confirms it. They probably removed Carrier IQ and installed a different data collection tool that's less obtrusive. I wish AT&T would remove that crap from my Skyrocket, but they probably have stock in Carrier IQ ;)

This is good news. Now, if only Sprint would send the maintenance updates out sooner than later.
