 Why should it? If you remove the SIM and you reset the phone it has
nothing to do with the network operator and the crap it installs on your
property. It is in the same state it was when you took the phone out of
the factory-sealed box.

I took the phone off the Telus phone-boutique counter, ready to use. So my question really was about whether a factory reset restores it to the state it was in when it left the (Samsung) factory where it had 'possibly' also been loaded with an OS, or whether it is reset to the state when Telus put it into my hand including the crap THEY installed on it, in addition to the crap that Google vernmin and their ilk may have installed on it or may be installing on it daily.
