Well least you have a good phone.

You sure can remove the sprint crap. use this app you can put whatever you want in place of the sprint logo crap, like your name or whatever you want.

Download it on your computer, unzip it, transfer the file to the phone, run it from your file explorer on the phone

If you aren't familiar with unzipping, I'll unzip it and reupload it.

I personally use real player and wmplayer to transfer music to the storage card, the phone can handle upto 16gb, I believe, you might want to find if thats true though. Manual says 16 gb. But just plug the phone into ypur computer, a little pop-up will be on the phone, click mass storage, computer is going to say its installing drivers or what not, let it go through that, then open your media player and sync your music. You could also use active sync (or windows mobile device center if using vista), but I prefer to do it as mass storrage. When you do it as mass storage though, your computer will show your phone as a drive and you wont be able to see the storage from the phone, only the computer.

You could try flashing the Verizon stock ROM. The stock ROM thread is here:

Or, you could flash one of the many available custom ROMs, and begin personalizing your phone the way you like it.

You should also make sure you have a Verizon PRL. I believe you dial *228, then press 2.
