Default I want to unlock a Bell BlackBerry Bold 9780 - Questions

Hello

I'm going to be buying a BlackBerry Bold 9780 from someone, brand new and sealed in the box, for 200$. However, I'm with Rogers and the phone is locked to Bell. I have found unlocking services for my phone on eBay for around 1$ so that's not a problem.
My questions are:
1) Is there a Bell logo on the phone, like there is on a Rogers or Telus phone?
2) Is there a Bell splash screen when you boot it up?
3) Is there any Bell junk on the phone, like their own pre-installed apps and wallpapers?

Thanks so much for the response!

1. I believe there is not bell logo on the actual device
2. There will be a bell splash screen on bootup
3. All bell app will disappear and will be replaced with rogers once the device is registered on the network.

I just got the device and actually, there aren't any logos, no splash screen and as for the apps I haven't found out yet, it's updating. Thanks anyways for the replies.
I hope they get replaced once the phone registers with Rogers' netowrk.

Ok so I'm done updating my 9780 to OS 6.0.0.600 and I can happily report that:
There is NO logo on the phone
There is NO splash screen on the phone
The pre-installed apps simply come from carrier you're using. For instance, mine is a Bell phone but got it unlocked for 1$ so I can use it with Rogers. Now I see the Rogers pre-installed apps.

Thanks guys!
