As I recall from my 930, and my 860, they both got hot. They both, as well, sported aluminum battery covers.
Plastic just sucks up heat and holds it in.
These covers should be aluminum to wick away the heat and spread it.
I have a glass top on my desk here, and if I set the phone on there, it will get pretty warm around the area.
I'm quite sure though that the battery is part of the issue.
I have 2 different Mogul batteries now. One came with my last replacement, which was in worse shape then the one i was insuring, so I swapped batteries and sent the newer one back. This battery is black, and has different manufacturer then the other ones that I have. I noticed it takes longer to heat up.
I'm sure if money was possible to be made from it, I could have new plates machined for the back no problem.
But I'd have to make a profit on the plates to pay for the machining of them, which I doubt would be cheep.
I wouldn't care a whole lot of the phone was heavier. I miss my i1000, and those things were 2x as heavy as this phone, and way bigger. So. weight/size is never an issue.
