Branded versus unbranded phones

[Stephen Giggar]

This also worked on the N73 along with the unbranded N75. So I would say most of the 2nd Edition and 
3rd Edition phones will do this. Because it also worked on the old unbranded 6682. All of them found 
the settings on their own. Some of this is stored on the SIM card and some of it can be gotten from 
the automatic settings wizard that run the first time the phone is turned on.
