Whatever, I'll do what works for me, sorry if this idea isn't good enough. Besides taking the battery cover off and making a custom cover with fans built in, we're pretty much SOL.
No one is attacking you here man. You did offer a solution, and we appreciate it, but you have to realize that it should not be necessary to talk with the phone open.

Yes, it's the radio, heating up the batteries, which then drain quicker, because they are hot. Then they cannot charge, because the overheat-detecting circuitry kicks in.

Thank you for your advice, and I am sure a few people will do as you say... I think the thing we are trying to point out that "most people," would find talking on it with the keyboard unacceptable and embarassing. Many of us are on long phone calls on a regular basis, and I don't think that it's all that embarassing to just be on a phone. It's fairly commonplace these days.

Once again, thanks, but we are trying to find out if the problem might get taken care of by the latest revision that this gentleman might in fact recieve from his order--now that they aren't "out of stock."

I wonder why HTC is so unresponsive to complaints and issues? When I called, they basically told me to screw off, and talk to Sprint. Huh? If I bought a Panasonic plasma from Best Buy, I should still be able to call Panasonic if I have an issue.. I don't get that thought-process...

Oh well! Live and be happy Since HTC wouldn't resolve the issue, I just moved on and I will find a phone that doesn't overheat.
