Yeah, I lose the amazing discount by ordering through BB, (I only paid $244 for the phone,) but my company is buying it anyways. The way I see it, I got to "preview" a concept phone, because clearly this isn't the one they intended for the end-user to purchase. |

Re: Is the stock charger adequate?

Driving in my car with the Pro on a charger. WMWifiRouter providing my car PC with an internet connection (for streaming Rhapsody music, etc). That means cellular and WiFi radios are both blasting, and I'm already producing far more heat than just a phone call. Now add iGO8 to the mix. That means GPS is active, the processor is getting a heavy workout, and the screen is constantly on. Next, add heavy Bluetooth activity thanks to A2DP streaming the iGO verbal directions to my car PC to play over the speakers. And just to further burden the processor and WiFi connection, I have an active MyMobiler session displaying my phones screen on the PC. I do this regularly for 1.5-2 hours on my commute (working in downtown Houston and living north of Conroe is bad idea, by the way). I haven't once had the phone stop charging, and I always get out of the car with >75% battery despite a measly 500mA USB charger. I do typically make it a point to slide the keyboard open and put the phone where it can get a little air flow though. I can't imagine a much more intense torture test. Take from that what you will, but don't say that if you aren't having issues you're not a power user. Maybe there is a bad batch, or maybe we all just need to take a few steps to let the device cool better. Why don't some of the people who are having issues try to duplicate their problems while employing some of the previously mentioned cooling methods? |

Re: Update: TP heats up, then battery drains, even while on charger.
I have a question, has anyone tried the VZ radio? I heard you can run that with sprints network. Does it have the same heat issues? If it does than maybe both are effected, but if its not than we know its the radio.

Where/when did you get your device?

I don't consider my scenario as "normal functioning." In fact, it's probably prohibited usage in a number of ways ![]() And I don't consider it jumping through hoops to not leave an expensive electronic device (any expensive electronic device) baking in direct sunlight, in an enclosed glove box, or any number of situations that is just common sense to avoid with delicate electronics. Do you leave your laptop wrapped up in a blanket while it's running? Or surf the net in the kitchen with it sitting next to the stove? Granted, if I couldn't make it through a lengthy call without the unit fully discharging the battery (despite being on a charger) I'd be a little perturbed. But I don't think every user is experiencing that. You hear about the problems because it is the upset people with malfunctioning phones that are the ones posting about it on the internet. Few people post just to say everything is working as intended. |

Ya, hopefully you get a good device the second time around. It'd be a shame to miss out on all that this phone has to offer - when it is working correctly
