Do companies brand there blackberries?

I.e. I'm looking at a 9700 originally on Orange, but needs unlocking to use my O2 sim. What functions if any would i be losing or are they all the standard menu systems etc?

anywhere to get the software to unlock? Also, I'm assuming it can't be debranded?

My storm 2 has Vodaphone on the bottom of it , also says Vodaphone on the home screen .

I`d imagine if you went to somewhere like carphone warehouse they might sell you phone that has no branding on the phone and depending on what sim will show what provider name shows up .

I debranded a nokia nseries before, so surely your able to debrand a blackberry? it took about 2mins to debrand my old nokia, after i found out how to do it and what to download that is

My N70 was bought via o2 as sim free, was still branded o2 though.

I've got a 9700 on vodafone, and it doesn't say vodafone anywhere on the outside, only on startup

There isn't a massive amount of orange related crap on mine, I probably wouldn't bother messing with it.

I'm pretty sure you can just upgrade the operating system and delete the vender file on blackberrysto unbrand them.
If that doesn't work fully there are cheap apps out there that will unlock you phone fully and not loose any functionality/menus etc
you will need a BB data plan to use the phone properly though really.
