Well today I looked at my blackberry curve 8520 and relised I hate how it says T-Mobile, so I scraped it off. I am ashamed of my carrier ><
I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a sticker for any of the top carriers (prefferably att) that I could put in place of where I scraped off Tmobile? (At the bottom of the phone) ?

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone sells these stickers with carrier logos, try ebay?
I agree with hondateg91, it is stupid to scrape it off, if you were that annoyed maybe change carriers? But otherwise go and find a new bottom piece, most commonly you'll find vodafone
Unbelievable! If you are that ashamed of your carrier's logo on your phone, I think finding another carrier's sticker is the least of your problems. All that aside, does it have to be a carrier's sticker? Why can't you find a different, "cooler" sticker?
Or you could always switch carriers...

If it's like my phone it's part of the phone. If there is physical damage the phone warranty would be void.
ok just out of curiosity i talked to 2 friends who are repair techs in the industry and they both told me it's not considered physical damage and would not void any kind of warranty. they told me cracked screens, damaged charging ports, etc would be considered physical damage, not removing the branding sticker.
Because to change the part would require opening the phone. That is your
void of warranty.
Not if he takes it to a certified RIM technician.
I can replace the housing on my phone, only because I am a certified sprint repair rep, without voiding the warranty. I currently have a black housing on mine, but at any point I can swap it back to the grey sprint housing and it will not void the warranty.

ok the OP said he scraped off the branding sticker not opened the phone to replace the part that the branding was on. i can scratch my screen all day long if i wanted to and it wouldn't void my warranty at all. prying off a key or button off my tour would surely void my warranty. i have 2 friends who are certified repair techs in the cell phone industry and they have also restated what i responded earlier and they're even wondering where everyone is getting the idea that scraping off a branding sticker voids any kind of warranty.
@ Austin & Kim, you are both missing the point. In order to get the phone to
have a different carriers branding the OP will have to open the phone to replace
it and THAT voids the warranty.
Look around this site. You can quote all the Certified Repair Technicians you want
but reality is that most people consider housing swaps (full or partial) DIY projects.
Maybe I'm the only one shocked by this, but... as much as T-Mobile irritates me these days, I love my Bold 9700! Scratching it on purpose?! I'm paranoid about how I put it into the holster! I find the idea of this complete Crackberry blasphemy!
