The caveat is you can't take out the battery and charge directly as this could damage your device. So, when it comes down to it, these devices aren't really capable of making prolonged voice calling without having to end it and change battery. Are all smartphones like this?
No way. They wouldn't sell.

My Touch never did this. My brother's and close friend's 6700 never did this. My company has a fleet of Treo 700wx that don't do this either.

Sounds like the radio is heating up, and causing the heat to "trigger" the battery heat protection.

I don't see how the current being drawn is enough to heat the battery which is why I think it's residual heat instead.
