Just Got Back, Copped The EVO 4G -- Crazy Apps

Although it's fucked up that I'll be charged $10 a month for a service I won't be able to use until the end of the year (4G network), overall this smartphone is hot -- and cute. The quality of the pics and videos I have taken with both cams are really, really good. I love the live wallpapers. The ring tones are okay. The touchscreen is a beast. Fast web-browsing. In short, every aspect of it is all to the good. (I haven't tried the video chat yet.)

There is, however, one seemingly big problem: Before you install an app from the Android Market, a window appears saying that the app will have access to all your personal data. Do apps get down like this? Or did my phone come with a security bug? I'd like to download and install a couple of apps, but I'm not going to do that if they're going to access all my data. That's nuttier than a Snicker bar. And I don't like nuts.
