Oh I understand that giving it airflow will help... I wasn't using my headset at the time. I was actually laying in bed with it laying on my ear (I can't really use it with my hands on it at home, the signal is kind of weak there) Regardless, its a phone that gets too hot and stops charging. There isn't an excuse for that major flaw, and the end user shouldn't have to jump through hoops and supply additional cooling to use the phone this way. There isn't anybody here that can sufficiently justify this oversight. Yes, the phone is hella cool, but some people are blindly looking past the glaring defects over the cool factor. This is a really serious issue for me and as much as I don't want to I may find I have to return the phone and go back to my Mogul. I am sure with time more and more people will eventually come across this issue themselves.
I am considering bringing it back to Best Buy for exchange, just to rule out the possibility that mine could be just defective. I have a feeling they all will work this way though. I will report back later if I get a replacement and it is better than what I have now. This one is just unusable like this.
