The box for the phone did not contain any o2 logo. It was a green Nokia box.
There is no logo on the phone case itself.
It displays the nokia logo when starting up and plays a pretty sound.

Can any one tell me how to identify if my phone is branded or not? What are the KEY differences between branded non branded that I would notice.
What is your Product Code? This is displayed on the back of the phone under the battery. The list of unbranded/Generic Product Codes is here;

Nokia N95 EURO Product Codes and Language Packs at the Nokia blog

What is your Operator Variant? This is the number in brackets on the last line when you enter *#0000#.

I had an O2 Phone from the Carphone Warehouse and the only difference I noticed between it and a true unbranded/generic N95 was that pressing and holding down the * key didn't switch between the General and Silent profiles. Other Operators branding is more invasive - I believe that T-Mobile and Vodafone N95s can't use VOIP.

Aren't you better off using your free minutes?
