Well the OP probably shouldn't have stated it as fact but what does your picture show? Other posters have guessed that the soft backing underneath the battery cover may be some time of material facilitates heat transfer. Now I am wondering if all versions have this stuff underneath the battery cover.

Jeez, calm down. I'm sorry if I stated it as fact, as I was reasonably sure, but I guess I should've mentioned that it should still be considered speculation. Maybe the term heatsink was incorrect, but I do believe that this design allows more heat to escape to the surroundings. Perhaps it's negligible, I don't know.

Sorry if your precious time was wasted.

It's funny because I was the first one criticizing Sprint about the back cover when they're version first leaked. I hated the pictures but in person I think the back cover looks awsome, almost Matrix like. I actually do still see the heat issues once in a while even when I'm talking and not teathering.

you guys do know the all those holes aren't holes, right? there are only two slots in the cover, both for the speakers. one is long and one is wide. maybe the felt inside the cover does something, but the holes are just for sound.

*shakes head* guys the back cover was not designed as a "heatsync" it was designed to look all sprint like. Its plastic, has the same shitty thermal properties as the phones chassis.... how would that be a heatsync? there would be no benefit.

Heat sinks function by efficiently transferring thermal energy ("heat") from an object at a relatively high temperature to a second object at a lower temperature with a much greater heat capacity.

so.... yeah...

I think it's all about kick backs. Some important guy at Sprint wanted to hookup his friend's industrial design firm. So he gave him a contract to make a battery cover, which he didn't need to do because HTC already paid bought some Dutch industrial design firm to design battery covers. With some of the money he was paid to make a special "Sprint" battery cover he paid his buddy that hooked him up. Either that or HTC was going to have a bigger speaker and changed their mind at the last minute (someone else posted this idea too). Imagine how thick the TP2 would be with a speaker that big???

Who do you think you are; telling people what to post (Noob) I noticed you joined Dec. 09 with a rep of 5. Instead of being negative and talking out of your a** try being more useful and contribute. Try by giving your idea what the cover might be designed for, If you don't know don't bother posting.

plastic doesn't work as a heat sink.
