So just having the CDMA radio going while in a call is enough to heat the phone off and trip the charging circuit. Going hogwild with data and killing the battery is one thing, but not being able to carry on a long call just blows my mind.
It shuts down after two hours, is that because that's when it ran out of power? Did it get significantly hotter after like an hour, or was it always hot through almost the whole two hours?

Longest I've talked on mine is only like 30 minutes or so when plugged in charging, and it continued to charge, when I was done, it had actually charged up a little bit (about 10% more than when I started the call). It got very warm, warmer than my Vogue Touch got, but not painfully hot.

Man, I'm tempted to exchange it for a new one at Best Buy, but I'm afraid I'll get one that's worse.

I guess I'll wait a week and if there's no improvement in battery life, I'll take my chances with an exchange.
