Branded phones are not good in my opinion. They have changed user interface (on some operators) and limited some fuctions of the phone which makes the phone feel not original...

Branded phones tend to have lower and somewhat "less full" call quality.

I can only speak for the UK market but O2 seem to use the least branding/customisation of the networks, the others are highly network branded, thats why I tend to buy sim-free.

Well locked and branded phone it is different... Branded one is a phone which has menu and firmware customized by the operator but works with other operator sim cards with no problems (except GPRS and MMS for some operators) while locked phone, won't work with any other operator sim card except the one it is locked to

Hardware differences may appear on the external housing... Some operators like Orange are branding the housing of the phone (making it look uglier in my opinion)...

They only add stickers, logos or text labels on the housing. They don't touch the internal phone hardware
