Silly question, but did you power cycle and battery pull?
Shut off the power and take out the battery for a minute.

What do you mean by "WiFi and wimax radios no longer exist for the device"???
Please explain?
I agree the battery life is a lot better..in some ways this update was a much needed improvement (as far as battery life is concerned).i am seeing better battery life and much better wifi
Okay so here is what I have observed,
1. noticeably improved battery life. in 8 hours, I have only used 20 to 30% of the battery. pre-update 20 to 30% of the battery was gone in 2 - 3 hours.
2. phone is much more responsive. I didn't have the grounding issue, but the responsiveness improvements are noticeable
3. peep has been a little buggy. from saying no tweets to just closing on me. i did a reset (which is why i gave a range on the battery) and things have improved.
4. wifi signal has improved somewhat i suppose. Where as before the update i got no bars in my bathroom, I now get a bar 60% of the time I am in there.
5. long press on the keyboard works
6. Qik is always running in the "Running Services". This is new and interesting.
I updated this morning around 10:30 am while on the ****ter at work. got a little nervous because it took so long, but I stuck with it and everything came out okay. Lets hope the froyo update goes smoother. Maybe sprint/htc should provide us with more instructions like "this is going to take a long time to install, so dont turn your phone off. Do not try to reinstall this update after you have already installed it."
No need for Shenaniguns.
Just return it within your 30 day period and move on. Take care.
I can't help but wonder if the people who are seeing much improved battery life are getting it just as a result of doing a cold boot. A number of users have reported that a reboot resolved their battery issues, and the update did several reboots.

Move on? And continue to pay a company to treat me like crap? We will see how they handle this one, because I have a few more lines that have about a year left on contract that I should not have to pay an ETF if I want to leave Sprint now.
Now my phone will not power up or recognize being plugged into a power source
You dont have to stay (your line) but the other lines do as they are STILL UNDER CONTRACT. There is not contract clause that states "if you are not happy you can get out of your contract."
You (or someone) signed it. Either pay the ETFs and leave, or deal with it.
I also don't see why it is a big deal. Go return your bricked EVO, get on a waiting list for a new phone and activate an old phone or get a loaner phone until they get you one in. **** happens, thats life.
