Just got an update from the guy. He told me he spoke with Sprint and got the account "taken care of" and that Sprint told him the phone should be clear in 10-15 days.
So, I guess I wait
XsMagical, if I cant get the ESN cleared up, I would be willing to sell it or trade it so I can get my wife hooked up with a good EVO. Send me a few offers via PM, and if I cant get it cleared up, we may have a deal.
