Heat?

How do you guys deal with the heat from internet use & charging? I use WMWifiRouter, and after a few minutes left alone, the chemical switch kills the charging, and a few minutes after that, the phone dies. I've mitigated this by keeping a water bottle in the freezer overnight, so in the morning, when I turn on WMWifiRouter, I take off the battery cover and put the water bottle on the back of the phone, with a folded paper towel in between. The heat from the phone evaporates the moisture before it ever gets to the phone, and the pink moisture sticker is still cross-hatched to prove it.

The down side of this is A) everyone who stops by my desk asks me why I have a water bottle sitting on my phone and B) usually sometime after noon, the ice is completely melted and there's no more heat exchange. I'm obviously going to start keeping TWO bottles of water in the fridge, but I was wondering if anyone else had a better idea.

I'm not using the internet connection too excessively, just Facebook and IM, and I'm connecting through USB rather than WiFi, because that made the heat problem even worse.

Thanks for the input!
