Um. It’s definitely possible to delete the preinstalled apps. I accidentally deleted Maps and can’t get it back now, at least not without restoring, but my iPhone 3G is jailbroken and I’d really like to not lose all my 3rd party apps

  To delete iPhone apps that you have installed from Cydia, you have to use Cydia to remove those apps.

Go to Setting>>> General>>> Restrictions>>> Enter a Password>>> Enter again>>> Turn off unwanted default apps>>> click home button>>> View where the default apps you tuned off used to be>>> They wont be there!!! (Have not tried with a jailbroken iPod)
Hope it helps!
