I suspect it is like the Treo Pro touchscreen I replaced and it just sticks on.

The "light leak" is caused by the screen lifting up. You are correct about the screen, it just sticks on there. The screen on many people's Evos have been lifting up, like the guy who posted the scratch test on youtube. My Evo is having this issue, hasn't gotten too bad though, but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to get worse.

I've got a 003 and i haven't noticed any major problems. Except for the fact that it sometimes lags for a second, but I would consider that an issue regarding all the apps I have on it. My phone's battery life is around 20 hours so no battery issues here.

Uhmm, what kind of hair?

I have a 002. Also, it isn't one of the retail phones, it is one of the Google I/O phones. Doubt that makes a difference though.

I have 002 and i have not had any issues exept that the battery life stinks and the known exchange password issue with it looping reboot but this is a software issue. I am sorry unless i just have a bum phone or battery I can not believe any is getting over 10hrs on this phone I have had every windows mobile device sprints had on there network and this smartphone is by far the worst on battery life.

sorry to hear that. it sure looks like some are getting really bad battery results while others are getting at least descent battery life. I'm over 10hrs since my last full charge and sitting at 43% so there's got to be a reason for the difference. You many want to try a hard reset once if you haven't already to start from scratch. Good luck.

I have already had to hard reset twice because of the known exchange issue

I have 002 no real problems to report very very happy with this phone. My battery life is good. I can go 14 15 hours and still have half the battery never had to charge at work. gaming kills battery fast just like it does on my ipod touch. I had to ditch beautiful widgets as a horrible battery killer tho. I also use the overclock ap to slow cpu when the screen is off.

I am the guy who took the original pics of the two versions linked in the first post.

You guys may find this interesting but both devices have a hardware version of 003 despite the cases and batteries being obviously different so I am not sure if this is a good key.

002 battery life sucks do to the apps alawys r running even tho i close them they open by themselves.....
