Motorola RAZR V3m

I suspect that I know the answer to this question but I am asking as a last resort....is there ANY way to get rid of the Verizon Wireless banner on the front and inside display?

I have gone to the store and asked and they have told me that there isn't a way...all the other phones have the option of removing the ERI banner, but I can't find how to do it on this phone...

I am hoping that someone has a way to "backdoor" into the phone to remove the banner...

Anyone?

Love the phone otherwise, oh-one more thing, I was advised of something to be careful with this phone in regards to the flip... be careful when opening the flip to NOT flip it hard because of the "ribbon" that is in the hinge has a tendency to rip and break (and it's NOT covered by warrenty) and will then produce a white screen when opened...
