Nokia N95

For those who frequent Nokia-n95 websites, you've undoubtedly come across the idea of 'Debranding' your handset. While the process does unlock the full potential of the phone, there are some thing to consider.

First, you chould probably know exactly what Debranding is. De-branding means you're removing the firmware set by the operator, and replacing it with the manufacturers original firmware. This is beneficial because you're unleashing the full potential of your phone, by using non-networked firmware.

 Some things you'll notice different about your phone are menu systems will be clearer un-restricted, and faster too. The process will also install the latest firmware to date, which will hold improvements on your old firmware. This often removes any software faults & bugs that your phone previously had. Also some network firmware's prevent you uploading ringtones & pictures via cable, or manually setting your internet homepage, debranding enables you to do this.

Ok, so you know the benefits of debranding, but what about the risks?

First, any tampering with your product codes could lead to voiding your warrarnty. So, really only do it if you plan on upgrading, or have a backup handset. Second, debranding can lead to  sporadic outcomes. Probably the biggest problem, is that it leads to the removal of some software. So, if you have a large amount of software you rely on, then you'll have to reinstall it.
