no, unlocking merely allows your phone to use sim cards from other networks.

debranding changes the actual operating system from a network customised one to a generic one which does not have network specific features/options etc

these are two separate things

right so does debranding also unlock the phone, in other words I don't have to debrand and unlock, my phone will be vodafone UK which from what I have read is not sim locked anyway but I want to at least debrand it as though I bought it from CFW

Debranding means removing customizations from certain operators. Unlocking means that you will be able to put the sim card you desire to your phone. These are two different things.

Yes the Vodafone handset is already unlocked, that is standard practice for all Vodafone handsets (excluding the BB Storm lol)

does debranding invalidate the manufacturers warranty or can it be flashed back with say vodafone branding again ?
