Root Am I completely bricked? Stuck on boot cycle

So last night, I got my BH2. Started dicking around with it, got Handcent because stock sms is garbage, and got it nice and rooty. I started to get double notifications, and BH2 can't disable stocks notifications for some ridiculous reason. So I poked around on the internets and saw someone had suggested deleting twsms.apk.

Viola! No more double notifications. Or twlauncher either!

So now, I figure, "Oh launcher is just corrupted, I'll factory reset no worries right?" Apparently I was very wrong and now I'm stuck in the infinate boot cycle.

So my question is am I completely bricked? Is there anything I can do to fix it? If not, is T-mobile going to charge me another 180 bucks to get it replaced even though I just got it yesterday? Or is this covered by warranty?
