Are the NZ models from independent retailers free of network splash screens? I had a Sony from NL that had a Spark splash screen that always annoyed the heck out of me.
Yes, free of any carrier logo..at least the one I got from Spark is. Loads up with 2 Huawei logos, then the login screen. I had Sony previously too and the Spark logo that loaded up was annoying every time.
