After about 10 mins they called to the back of the store to ask me (get this) How to hard reset the device!! Turns out that the tech person didn't know anything about how to service the phone!! So after I showed him what to do, he then asked me about the phone and while I was telling him, at least 3 other people came in asking him about their own TP1s, he just sent them to me. Once he seen that I had put a custom rom on mine, answered their questions and also unlocked them all within the hour that I was there, he offered me a job, and got me a free upgrade to the TP2!. I now come in 3 times a week to customize TP1s and TP2s. I am actually getting paid for my "habit" LOL!!

One of the best stories so far IMO. I would love to be paid for my "addiction" lol. I might end up getting a job at one of these Phone stores in a bit but It may not be just Sprint. I might try ATT just to get a phone for working there and get to know the dark side of GSM while I still have my Sprint Sero plan.. Plus get to play with all the new phones that the CDMA networks don't get in a timely manner. :/
Stupid economy. But If I can work up from a Retail Store Manager to Corp who knows. I could get into smartphone marketing in due time.
