Sprint 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee
For existing customers upgrading devices and accessory purchases
So you just traded in your old Sprint device for a brand new one and … it’s not quite what you expected. Too big. Too small. Not quite the right color red.
No sweat. You’ve got options. As long as you’re within the first 30 days of owning your new device or accessory, the Sprint 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee lets you either exchange your device for a different one or return it for a refund.
Exchange it for a different one. Just bring it back to the original point of purchase and we’ll help you find a device or accessory that better meets your needs.
Return it for a refund and re-activate your old one. Want to go back to your old phone and plan? We can do that. If your old plan’s no longer available, we’ll find one that’s comparable.
Simply return or exchange your device or accessory (in its original condition) within 30 days with the original receipt. When you return or exchange your device, we’ll refund your activation fee. However, in most situations, a $35 restocking fee will be charged. If your new plan doesn’t meet your needs, and you want to return to your previous plan, we will: remove any credits or discounts received in exchange for your new contract term and restore you to your previous contract term and service plan (if available). You may switch to a comparable service plan if your previous plan is no longer available.*

Now that is if you are a current customer that upgraded. If you are a new customer, you can return within 30-days with no fees:

You can only get the MIR if you keep the phone in service for at least 30 days, so there's no way to return it and get the MIR.

However, I don't see any reason why you couldn't get to day 31, pay the $200 ETF, get the $100 MIR and then keep the phone without a plan. Of course, at this point you'd have paid $399 for it anyway ($199+$200 ETF) plus taxes and fees, plus a bad rep with Sprint, and maybe even lose that $100 MIR when they dick you around over it because they can. Might as well just pay the $449 and buy it outright up front.

simple you cant even put music or photos on this stupid phone when you plug in the usb cable into a pc, like all my other phones for the last 5 years

I have both music and photos on my Evo that I placed on there through the USB cord attached to my PC...

Did you make sure to select "use as drive" (I think that's the prompt) when you attached it to your PC?

RTFM. Or at the very least do a Google search. You plug in your phone to the computer, you select "Disk Drive" on your phone, and then you create a Music folder and drag everything you want to play in there.

Done. Oh, and if you want album art to show up when you select music through the music player then just put the album art of the album you're putting into the Music player inside the folder the music is in and it'll attach the art automatically.

oh... do you know if you have anything on the SD card???
maybe you have that bad sdcard issue.

I think you have to reformat the card or do the update. Might want to ask your sprint service center on that.
