If you're worried about bringing a non-Sprint TP2 over to Sprint, then just clone a Sprint branded data-capable phone so you get past the activation. Just remember that TEP won't protect you and Sprint stores won't repair you.

Look at the instructions for cloning Sprint TP's and TP2's to MetroPCS and Cricket. The process is same, just need the right details to plug into the devices. =)
