All this talk about releasing the SDK to the geek community may sound logical but isn't really smart. It's for the same reason MS asked XDA-Developers to stop hosting custom roms on their site.

Simply becasue;
1) People hear stuff from websites like these and go and start screaming to customer service about how the word on the internet is this but they can't do that.

2) Majority of the people that download these ROMs have no idea what they are doing. They just want to be on the cool side. They brick or damage their devices then go crying to Sprint or other carrier about how their device no longer functions.

You have to understand that the ultimate product is a compromise to satisfy the highest amount of people.

I work in customer service(not for Sprint) and this is what I have to deal with?

Some smuck calls in claiming that he heard on the internet that there is aproblem with his device.
He admits that he hasn't experienced the problem but wants some sort of compensation.

I know most of the people in PPCGEEKS know their stuff but you gotta understand that flashing and cooking roms for noobs only causes unnecessary customer complaints.
