I'm curious to see if there are any differences on how the phone runs and the build quality. This will be a very informative thread if people respond.

You can tell by clicking menu < settings < about phone < hardware information.

The first batch has a hardware version of 002.
The new batch has a hardware version of 003.

Now with this being said, can people check to see which version they have and inform the rest of us if you are experiencing any issues at all.
Issues being battery life, wifi signal strength....anything of that nature. (Keep in mind that battery life is user generated, so don't give a detailed battery report. Just an approximate average battery life.)

Another thing to note about the different versions:

The battery doors are different. The old batch (Hardware version 002) have a light black door with a metallic/sparkle look to them. The new batch (Hardware version 003) has a solid dark black look to it.


I'll start out:

Hardware Version: 002

No light leak, no battery issues, wi-fi seems good. The 4 LEDS stay off when phone is off. Battery life is around 20 Hours of normal use.

UPDATE: Pictures of different backs. Source: Myn at XDA Developers. I take no credit, all credit goes to him. First picture is 0002, second appears to be 0003 or later.

RESULTS FROM 21 PAGES:
In Excel screen capture.

Results seem very similar besides the ones highlighted in red.

Apart from these results, some users mentioned the power button is different on 0002 and 0003. I believe it is more flush on 0002. I cannot confirm this because I do not have both versions.

your evo.jpg shows no 003 versions with battery covery problems. i have the 003 and my battery cover is lifted on one side driving me crazy.
