2. Its actually called "rooting" and it is the equivalent of unlocking on the diamond. Allows you to remove sprint bloatware and flash custom roms as well as many other features.
3. Flashing on the Hero is great. For the most part, you dont have to hard reset every time you want to flash a new rom. Some recommend a wipe before flashing because of new kernels and such but if you just flash custom rom on top of another without wiping, guess what, you dont have to reinstall all of your APPS!! They are still installed.
Sprint always gives a 30 day return period. Buy it, Try it and if you dont like it, Take it back, no harm no foul.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I did wonder what happened to you in the Diamond forums but I figured you had moved on to greener robots, I mean pastures
One more question, Are there already 2.1 custom ROMs to flash to? I'll be getting the Hero from Cellular South and I believe it's on 1.5 or 1.6 and knowing them it'll be forever before they offer a 2.1 upgrade.
