Something has to be done about this...such a nice handset, perfect everything...but we need to FORCE ROAM.

Anyone?
Sprint has a device that you can plug into your home internet connection, which will allow you to have service at your house. Normally, I think it is ~$100 for the device, and $5/mo thereafter, but if you are threatening to leave, you may get all that waived. It's worth a shot, and would give you signal at home.

Edit: Since you just got your device the other day, you are still within your 30 day grace period. You can use that as a bargaining chip, as all you have to do is send back your hero, and head to another carrier, and you would avoid the ETF.
