Hi, now that we have the complete list of parts from iSuppli for the iPhone 4 - do you think it will be possible to assemble this yourself - hypothetically speaking. What's to stop of it from working. For instance, what about the IMEI and things like that if one DID manage to source the parts and assemble.

building a phone from parts is of course possible, you can start with a naked pcb and put all the smd parts on it - that is not really the problem - surely - depending on the phone, it could make some trouble to program it. the imei can be a problem - but that depends on your hardware/software/knowledge.
the imei has nothing to do with the carrier - the imei is a number that combines the country of origin, the manufacturer and a serial number, it closes with a checksum.
in many modern devices - the imei is not changeable - for a "regular user" with a data cable - but when you have the right hardware - you can do many things - many phones were "modified" with a jtag interface and the right voltage.
anyhow - it's possible to rebuild (or even fake) a phone - thats why there are blank iPhone pcb's on the chinese market ;-)

I'm not expert on the subject at all, but if you had every single part supplied to you, I don't really see anything stopping you from assembling all of the parts yourself.
I'm going to take a (big) guess that the IMEI is associated with the logic board, so if you buy a brand new logic board intended as a replacement, it should have a valid IMEI. You'd still need to get the phone activated with a carrier so that they would recognize the IMEI though I would assume.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, as this is just a shot in the dark.

Assuming you received all the parts ready for install... including all the associated ribbons... Yes. If you just happen to receive a bucket full of all the parts, your phone could be the size of a iPad or bigger. I don't know about other people, but I think the engineers who fit everything inside the iPhone are artists.

no, they are simply technicians and computers whose job it is, to fit the needed electronics into the stuff that designers had perpetrated. maybe it sounds harsh, but it's only a phone - nothing more - nothing less.

nice - but even when you have every part - you would have to deal with the imei. i never seen something about the iphone 4, but some people rewriting the imei on the iphone 3g/3gs - but you would most likely go deep inside the scene and bring some money - those kind of hardware isn't cheap
