The splash screen when you turn on the phone, possibly the theme, browser icon and other media are linked to that vendor.
For example, my phone is unlocked, I have all services functional, but it was released by Vodafone Spain [ES] and hence, the Vendor ID is 133. No matter which firmware I put on it, regardless of carrier, the splash screen will remain Vodafone, so will the browser icon. Unless I change the Vendor ID (complicated process)
