why pull the battery out? just turn the phone off...ive heard conflicting stories about this...i know for some phones, taking the battery out for more than 10 minutes is like doing a hard reset on the phone...others its not.

if your worried about it....get sprite, do a full back up, and if it does erase your data, you can just restore it....

also a simple idea is to buy like a $10 sprint phone off ebay or craigslist, so you at least have a phone, and dont have to worry about destroying your $300 device...
