    I just noticed today that my Torch doesn't have any carrier branding. I bought it from Rogers Wireless [store] directly. Sorry for the fuzzy quality (webcam). I have "BlackBerry", but no "Rogers"... anyone else?





    No concern, just curious

    you can use a copper penny to remove any branding if you have one.

    Congratulation actually. A debranded blackberry is actually better than a branded one. For one, the charger is a universal charger. This means you can change the head and for any country you are going to. The ATT charger head only works in the U.S. unless you use some kind of adapter to work in other country.

    Aside from that, everything should work the same

    When you turn your phone on, does it show the carrier name?

    Bell's pearls didn't when booted up. :0

    THIS is an unbranded BlackBerry (or any other phone for that matter). For BB's, after the black loading screen it will show the old white screen with the old blue BlackBerry logo where the carrier would've went. Using something to scratch off the carriers name on the housing is just defacing it.

    EDIT: Almost forgot... no carrier splash screen is also referred to as "factory unlocked."

    Mine's unbranded. It shows the Blackberry logo when starting up, and was unlocked off the shelf.

    hhmmm good to know This is the first Rogers Blackberry I've ever owned that didn't have branding on it. I didn't even notice until I saw it lying next to my boyfriend's on the coffee table.

    so to remove the carrier branding on the device do you just scrape it off with the penny?

    *edit*
    i just tried it and removed the branding

    My Orange UK unit came straight from Orange. It has the Orange splash screen on start up but thankfully no garish graphic on the case.

    With Telus and no OUTSIDE branding. All Canadian ones do not have it, all we have is the splash screen for our respective carriers.
