Help whats the lates hardware build?

The latest hardware build does not always mean it's the best. Any hardware build can either have no defects or be completely defective. That doesn't mean you're completely taking your chances; it's more or less a small percentage of every build that may have issues. That being said, the only difference between certain builds is the screen and camera hardware. Back, not long after the phone was released, they switched to using Epson displays (I believe it was Novatel before). If you're buying a new phone, this is of no concern to you. It's not as big of a deal as some people made it out to be at the time anyway.

As for the newer phones, as of two months ago or so, they now use different camera hardware. It is neither better nor worse. It's just different. If you have a very late model 0003 build or a 0004 build (most of them), you'll have the new camera hardware. So, if you buy a new phone, at this point, you're pretty much guaranteed an 0004 build. It really doesn't make a difference between that and previous builds. I'm sure they did some work to improve manufacturing quality, as some pones had issues at first, but you have nothing to worry about unless you're buying a used phone or a refurb.
