Really?? huh.. thats weird how they could tell that it was something other than an HTC product, thats intended to be put in the port, than something thats not intended. you should try to take it into a different sprint store.. maybe not, i mean i dont know the condition of your phone sooo

i'd say to try a different rom before you call sprint. if you can't do it via activesync, flash via sd card (that's what i do every time anyway)

You might try flashing the Sprint SHIPPED ROM.
Then flash to a fast stable ROM, Somethng like the Mighty/Silence ROM, Thats known to be pretty much bug free.
Id prolly also try it without the SDcard, just in case its corrupt and causing any problems.
If you've already done all that , then im stumped. Prolly a hardware issue.

they didn't really care the point was the usb connector on the phone was cracked, it still charges (thats why i can actually wait) but it won't connect to my pc anymore so any sync options are out the door
as for the current condition of the phone...the cracked chrome issue blew into a full blown case crack right next to the volume up button, theres also a chip in the chrome on the face on the lower right hand side so at this point the usb port is moot, they won't touch it for the physical damage alone
and i would've tried another store but the next corporate store is 45 minutes from home
