it shouldnt be hard to find a unbranded phone to buy to use on any carrier if your willing to pay the price of the phone. kinda limits sells i would guess to only have one major carrier carring that one paticular phone
I don't know Centennial, but if it's a GSM network (ie uses SIM card) an UNLOCKED SIM-capable BB will be usable on your network.
The Flash screen is not removable, even with an unlocked phone. That would require a deep flashing of the device ROM, which is only doable by RIM itself.
The casing could be made generic, but not the flash screen.
My Backup Storm1 is an unlocked, Bell-branded device, but I use it with a Rogers SIM card. It still flashes BELL on bootup. There's NO WAY to change that by us consumers.

Wrong. With a bit of knowledge and some apps you can even change the splash screen and VendorID of your BB.

Verizon branded, though unlocked (you'll have to live with the Verizon logo unless you're a RIM employee to get your hands on an unbranded device): BlackberryEmporium.com-Lowest prices on all Blackberry Devices.
