A: I only need the phone, battery and the return address. Please remove the sim / memory card or other accessories.

Q: What is Debrand ? what's the benefit to phone ?

Debrand means - Decustomise branding such as service provider startup, menu, WAP, GPRS or MMS setting in the phone software.

General benefits:

• All branding removed (no more customised startup)
• Removed MMS / WAP / GPRS setting restriction - input whatever setting you want
• Decustomise the button(s) on keypad which normally bring you to the service provider web
• Faster menu
• We will also upgrade your software to the latest current version during the debranding
• More memory - no crap

Additional benefits:

(a) Vodafone: Vodafone live

• Remove MP3 ringtone restriction - No more need for DRM (Download and use whatever MP3 ringtones you like)

(b) Orange - Orange World

• Remove the orange shortcut bar on the left side of the menu - Full screen wall paper
• Enable the RSS FEED which orange software disabled

(c) Three

• Remove THREE startup logo or other WAP / GPRS settings
• Enable the 2G (GSM) / 3G (Dual mode) selection function

For Nokia N95 / N95 8GB, the main advantage of debranding is to ENABLE the VOIP (Internet Phone) function which has been disabled by Vodafone / Orange UK.

I guess the reason for that is they don't want you to know you can make phone calls without going through their GSM / 3G networks. It means you can actually make a phone call even without the network to your friend on MSN / SKYPE / YAHOO messenger
