K800i Branding Vandalism

I'm thinking of getting a K800i on O2 or Orange and wondered which of
the two had the worst branding vandalism on their phones. My experience
of Orange makes me think it might be them, but what is O2 like?
Thanks

O2 is almost non existent, with one icon and one short cut menu. Also it has
CyberShot on the phone a wedge with the service providers name on it. You
are also likely to find that the O2 version is unlocked which makes it far
more useful and valuable, given that the K800i cannot be unlocked at this
time.

I can confirm this, got one on O2, luckily mine was unlocked, and also
has minimal customisation and no branding on the phone itself.

I've just got one on O2, the only customisation I can see is an optional O2
theme under display themes. This is set as default when you receive the
phone. + my pay monthly orange sim works just fine in it.

O2 is the nicest, but in all cases Wotanserver does a good job of debranding
(I debranded a Vodafone version myself).

Orange is quite bucthered ... but IMO they haven't screwed it up that much.
Soon a debrand solution will be available anyway, but even though we have
hardware, I'd probably leave mine as it is.
Not seen an O2 one yet

Wotanserver has been debranding for a while now. At least I managed to do my
Vodafone one easily enough.

Got my O2 K800i today, virtually no branding except a link to O2 active.
Popped my Orange sim into it and it worked perfectly. Glad I got O2 now.

Are you saying the O2 phone was unlocked?

Yes they do, although only rarely with contract handsets (usually only the
O2 branded models).

Yes, it was unlocked. I'm using an orange PAYG sim in it at the moment.

Orange - terrible customisation of icons.
Vodafone - just as bad as Orange!
T-Mobile - lovely icons. Brilliant.
O2 - not seen one.
