If you think about it, you have to pay developers anyway so all it is is giving them a certain project. So it really wouldn't be that much more additional money.

I work at radioshack. The thing is that Radioshack is discontinuing the phone. That does not mean that Sprint is discontinuing the phone. Also are you sure it's the District Manager in the store? District Managers rarely go to the stores (at least my store) and there's no real backorder. Our back order is if you buy it, we'll look for a store that has it for you and get it shipped in.
He probably said that so that you'd buy the touch, or something else that they have in stock.
