I understand why you want to debrand, but just be aware that I debranded my Orange N95 in April 2007, and when it went faulty in April 2008, Nokia Repair centre detected it had "unauthorised firmware version" and cancelled my warranty.

Some say that if you send a debranded handset back to the Network instead of Nokia, that they will repair or replace a faulty (de-branded) handset wiht no questions asked.

Your choice, but your risk also.
