Interesting....
I wonder what other improvements there are.

 

waiting to hear more details.....

 

i have 0003, what does this all mean?

 

If I remember this is the phone version, may have made improvements to hardware

 

This may be a benefit to Sprint's delay in allowing me to upgrade. I planned to get one today but have to wait until the 9th. Hopefully that means I'll get the new hardware.

 

This

 

Otterbox case. You'l want to sex your buttons.

 

When you press the home or search button with moderate pressure, does the screen have a sort of ripple effect?

 

Raised power button? You mean they've improved the one on top? This is good news that I hadn't heard.

 

I received a hardware version 004 last week as a replacement phone sent from Sprint. I had a hardware version 002 that I bought on launch day that the vibrate motor went out on. I also had to have the screen replaced twice in my 002 as it had screen separation after about 3 months and then the new screen had several dead pixels.

The only noticeable difference is that fact that there is ZERO light leakage at the bottom and the screen does seem a bit more 'grey'.

 

my wife rcvd version 4 2day due to the ver 3 evo decided to do a greg louganis into a halloween party tub of alcoholic punch. the ver 3 phone turns on but the screen is whitish gray u can press the screen and whatever screen its on stuff turns on...gonna hold it for a few for poss parts or some crap

only thing i see it has 2.2 and zero light leakage.

 

Has the hardware cpu/ram been upgraded at all in version 004? Is there a spec sheet comparing the different hardware revisions 001-004? I'd love to see what has been changed.

 

Lockbot Pro and you will only have to use your power button for actually powering down the device. Saves wear and tear on that power button.

 

Make sexy time with buttons? Mmmm

 

...but what turns the screen on then?

 

That will definitely not happen, ever.

If they ever change the specs of the Evo - they will simply be releasing a new phone instead.

 

How does that work, exactly?

 

K, I snagged Lockbot Pro and actually...it's awesome. It's like WidgetLocker in that it allows you to use the volume keys to wake up the phone (hence not using the power button). It also lets you change the lock style (iPhone, Hero, Eclair, Froyo, X10 and Galaxy) and lets you do cool things like shake the phone gently to unlock it. So far I really like it.
