Looking for hardware version 0004 or 0005

If they keep coming out with new hardware versions of the EVO, they might as well release an EVO 2. Hopefully by the time the white EVO comes out they would have a firmware update to fix the issues that are at hand now. I definitely will be getting a new phone IF and only IF HTC has a recall for version 0002 and 0003.

Got 0003. This is my third Evo though. First one had light leak bad, they replaced it under warranty. Second one came to me with a dead pixel. They also replaced it under warranty. The third one is quite fine. From what I've seen, people were saying that one way you could tell what version you have by using the screen brightness widget. If the brightness phases in and out, you have 0002. If the brightness snaps and changes instantly, you have 0003. This is what I've just heard, not sure if its true. I know however, it is true on mine.

I've had to 0004 units and one 0003 unit.

My first EVO was 0004, got it in 12/2010.
My Second EVO was 0003, got in 4/2011. I sent it back because of a defective power button.
My third EVO is 0004, got it in 4/2011 as a replacement for the defective 0003 unit. My first EVO was the best of the bunch. I never had a problem with it. I sold it to get an HTC Arrive. That was a mistake. The Arrive is a good phone, but not worth selling the EVO for, in my opinion.
