That seems like a long time but usually when I am NAND restoring I can see the txt moving etc.

What recovery are you using?

I say give it more time, but if it does brick you can always exchange it at your Sprint store. Hope it works out for you.

yeah its still goin and I'm pretty sure if i take the battery out while restoring it's gonna brick my fone, so i'm gonna give it 10 more minutes and then be brave and probably end up going to sprint in 2 hours when they open

Just because you pull the battery doesn't mean it will brick though. Theres the chance of course but you should still be able to access clockwork recovery.
