Ewdi has only just gotten his iPhone and he has already found a major flaw. Not the kind of flaws that you’ve probably seen on the Onion, but a real flaw that could cause some real problems.
He put his iPhone on the dock to sync it with the emails on his Macbook Pro and went off to do some other stuff around the house. After only 20 minutes on the dock he gets a phone call and when he picks it up it feels hot to the touch and causes major discomfort to his ear when talking.
We don’t know yet if this is an isolated case, or if others out there have experienced this. So far Vincent hasn’t reported that his has been heating up, so that’s good. If anyone else out there has experienced this, please chime in and let us know.

Yes…. experienced the same thing tonight. Iphone was super hot to ear after maybe 10 minutes of conversation. Prior to that, it had not been talked on, hooked up to sync or charger for hours. I literally would not be able to continue talking if holding phone to ear. Interestingly, the bottom portion was cool compared to top (where ear is). Thankfully, it was only a few minutes before I ended convo. (deeply concerned about this as it was totally uncomfortable to perform regular phone conversation).

the problem maybe that the phone has too many built in applications that constantly take up the battery and this may cause the phone to heat up

Wow, that is scary, is it a review unit?
Know of any way to contact Apple and let them know? I would think they would of ran across this in tests, somewhat weird.
