After getting my TP replaced due to rainbow effects in the first month on the screen i noticed a few different things

OLD | NEW
Build Date) 30-1-09 | 20-2-09
Screen) Colder | Warmer
Hardware Ver) 0002 | 0080

Edit: New one does NOT have a squiky back, slide is stronger, ear piece seems louder

wow...that's interesting. I'm about to get my alltel touch pro replaced for the same thing. I've had mine since it came out and just a week ago got the rainbow looking blob in the middle of the screen. My hardware version is 0002. I wonder what other differences there are with that 0080

I received a TP for a replacement of an Apache for my wife a couple days ago. I also noticed the PRL version is different. In my TP I have 60650 and she has 60651.

Sorry bro, but this thread is talking about the Alltel Touch Pro Hardware Versions.

The new revision Sprint phones came out several months ago, with a similar story, better build quality, but a warmer screen.

yeah, i've had 2 of the newer tp's, and an older one. the older one felt slightly more flimsy, and had the colder screen. the new ones had the newer screen, and the sliding mechanism feels stronger. after a few months of use, the slider still feels new, whereas the old one was starting to feel like sand paper was rubbing in the tracks.

Warmer...as in color temperature? I like mine colder if that's what you mean. but if you meant with richer colors, then cool.

What are the radio and OS versions?

What is the hardware version on your phone?

My TP is hardware 0002 and was Manuf'd on 3/7/2009. I think it came with PRL 60650 but after clicking update you'll get 60652. I run 60610 though so I get EVDO roaming whenever I'm on Alltel. It doesn't hurt anything since EVDO on the Sprint side is provided by Alltel in this area.
