Are you sure it is a Nike? If your in the US, it likely to be a Neon.

If, and I mean if, it is unlocked, then you flash whatever ROM that takes your fancy.

Do keep a copy of the original ROM to flash back in case something goes wrong.

Do HardSPL it, ie write protect the bootloader of the phone, to reduce the likelihood of making it a brick.

Provided the phone is unlocked, you can flash any ROM.

Things to do:
1) HardSPL it with 1.22 HardSPL
2) Flash the WM 6.1 ROM from HTC. It updates the radio 1.65.28.25 or 1.65.29.22 depending on version selected, and it gets rid of the T Mobile extras.
3) If all's well, give an alternate ROM a go. There are several in this forum, including mine.

Have fun.

It assumes your phone is still locked. Get a cached copy:

Do have a copy of the original ROM. If phone is not unlocked properly, then these ROM flashes will fail, leaving you with a phone that is not usable. It will need the original ROM from your phone provider (t-mobile) to get it going again.
