Hardware Versions: 0002 or 0003? Also, HTC called me back about the screen issue..

slight lifting, some light leakage, but horrible wifi issues. When i actually connect wifi AND 3g won't work - once i disconnect 3g works again. I haven't been able to use wifi yet.
I have both versions now
Originally got my EVO about 30 days after launch and it is version 003. Friend of mine also has 003 two months after launch.
I had an issue that ended up not being the EVO but Sprint sent me a refurbished 002.
I have fully inspected both units and cannot find ANY differences, including the battery door.
My 003 has a very slight light leak along the bottom of the screen which I did not notice before because my case was on. No other issues that others are reporting.
I have been using the 002 refurb for a week now and the only thing I can say for sure is that it is getting noticeably better battery life than my 003 did, which I always thought was good anyway.
In fact, my only complaint I do have is that the 002 refurb has some scratches and a creaky kickstand, but that's not EVO's fault.
I suspect some folks bought some early hardware revisions that may gotten out by mistake. I base this on reports of very obvious hardware differences that most are not seeing.
The Sprint support rep said 003 had some issues and very few were released, however he could not say exactly what the issues were. Sounded like rumor to me. Another rep said he had not heard of any 003 issues at all.

screen separation
light leakage underneath Home, Back & Search
bought as a refurb. this might be why it's so busted

my 1st Evo (that bricked during the OTA) was revision 2 I believe and didnt have the issue. my current one is a revision 3 and doesn't have the issue.
0002
Light leakage, slight screen lifting at the bottom but not enough to matter yet, crack at power button not from any abuse, and the back cover is warped so it doesn't fit smoothly on the mic side.
