just turning it on will show if it's branded or not

and looking at the Apps included

where did you buy yours? which model according to the stickers inside the battery compartment?

turning mine on just shows the normal metalic S no branding at all but if i goto the Kies setting in registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\3\productcode"
i get "GT-I9000HKAVOD" the VOD stands for vodafone but i purchased it from ebay unlocked thats the only way i knowits a branded fone apart from kies trying to get me to update the the silly vodafone update good job i had a full backup using clockwork otherwise i would have been stuck with the silly branding and appz they tried to push on us. not even with them lol............ so not all phones have branding thats visable but should give you an idea in the registry. hope that helps only my opinion though not and expert.;)
