Then check this out for ease of the disease so to speak........ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=95375

Then try every ROM you like in the CDMA section. Sprint specific ROMs are titled as so.....OR you can Hit the best Mr. X up for his work......or Mighty....or Energy.....or S3.........

Just skim the thread espec the first few posts and you should find all you need. ALSO USE THE SEARCH THE THREAD OPTION AS WELL AS SEARCH THE SITE when you need something.

I like the 6.5.x builds best. The 21xxx builds are more stable but not quite as cutting edge in my opinion plus I prefer my start button on the bottom. Plus they are more finger friendly. Do yourself a favor, look at the number of people who have downloaded each chef's ROM and then give it a shot. Try them all until you find one that suits your needs. Some are bare-bones close to stock and others are full of fluff and eye candy. Most likely you will become a flash junkie like most of us and eagerly await upgrade and can't wait to flash them. Good luck in your search. And yes you can go back to factory, just look in the threads for stock ROM builds. Hope this helps...
Welcome to the jungle. The links that Whotahn posted are must reads before trying to flash, don't rush it or you'll end up with a brick, Read, learn and follow the rules (of flashing, searching and posting) and you will 1) not have a brick in your hands, 2) not get flamed, and 3) get addicted to flashing (your phone... get your mind out of the gutter....). Jpucillo tells it like it is, there is no 1 perfect ROM, I personally would recommend something close to stock without a ton of eyecandy until you've done plenty of reading to know what you want and need and how to work around potential bugs. There's plenty of incredible stock looking ROM's out there that are rock solid and fast and you can then tweak with mods to change the look and feel of it. If you have questions, search, both the thread and forum and if you still can't find the answer, post the question, especially if it's regarding your first flash or unlocking w/ HSPL. We would rather walk you through it rather than tell you that you now own a very nice paperweight. good luck!
