Exactly, this is the point that I have been making and trying to get HTC/Sprint to address.
For some reason People keep missing the point. So I will reiterate it again with an additional bit of data. My previous phone used 0.4 W of power to generate 0.27W of RATED MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION ENERGY.
The Touch pro based on your data (and the data I have collected) Uses 2W to generate 0.29 W of RATED MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION ENERGY.
That is the point that we are trying to get across to HTC/SPRINT. That gross an inefficiency is what is causing the over heating and needs to be addressed. Whether you think your unit gets hot or not is a matter of perception. However, to use 2 W to transmit 0.29 W of energy (maximum) is CRAZY!
This same issue has been noted in the diamond which was released nearly TWO MONTHS ago. If Sprint/HTC took this seriously, they would have a fix for the Diamond (and likewise the TP) already.
