Sprint accenture deal question

[CaliBoyPhillip]

I just got my Sprint htc hero which i got for $30 + 40 ca state taxes, I don't want the device and I decided to try and sale it on the site for $300 right.... I hear people saying that you need to activate the phone you buy via sprint for one day for a little while and then esn swamp back to the phone of you're choice to avoid full phone price charge, is this true? I really look forward to selling it nib for 300$ which is why i asked this. if anyone can confirm that i do not need to activate it please do PM me for post =]
