Apple iPhone 3G S overheating

This sort of thing seems to happen a lot with new Apple products. I love Apple; I have tons of their products including the laptop I'm writing this comment with, but after my iPod randomly erased itself for the second time yesterday (not to mention all the other quirky things it does regularly) I'm starting to lose faith. I recently bought a BlackBerry Storm and I love it so, so much. I have no qualms with it so far.

That's why you never get first gen technology. Too many bugs.

Actually, I am typing this from a 1st gen iPhone and no major problems for almost 2 years.

I have the second generation and I haven't had any trouble with it.

I actually happened to burn my white casing and it didn't turn brown or pink, it just became slightly coarse to the touch and that was right next to a camp fire, so I HIGHLY doubt the pink and brown bs. Apple products do have a tendency to overheat but so do all phones, my prior phone, palm treo, would get so hot that I would feel it through my pants.

That really sucks, I would asume it's the battery overheating, I have a 2g and experience mild heating when streaming audio, but nothing to the likes of cooking an egg on... Hey on second thought that would make great app idea for the new 3g " i-toster"

Baked apples, anyone???!

I have a 3 G s and am very pleased so far. I have not run any intense games on it though. I do use the GPS a lot (i'm always lost) and have had no problems.

Blasted!! I was so excited to get one~ and the fact that my old blackberry was boiling my brain was the #1 reason why i got rid of it. SPOILER.

Not because overheating, but they have replaced my 3G S already because it kept crashing while I was doing emails. But I am going to the store again to ask for the second replacement, because the battery is draining out too fast (After a quick research, it looks like I am not the only one: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/news.phtml/25032/iphone-battery-life-life-compla... ). Look, I am not one of those so called haters and I have been using various Apple products for almost 10 years. All I am saying is that when the problem is this apparent, they should recognize it fast and do something about it. Before it's too late for the company's reputation / marketing wise.

Too bad you can’t pull out the battery of an iphone, because if that’s the problem, it would be easier just to replace all the batteries and not all the phones.

guys, boring, boring, boring

3rd launch of the same design, the new Iphone barely up to competition in speed and we still talk about!

Guys, can we get back to "new" iphone when they will really make news!

Yuck. Isn't it sad that we're at the point where we expect numerous problems with new technology?

if they blew up we could take care of two birds with one um stone?

Now I'm glad I couldn't get my hands on one. The demand for this in Los Angeles when it first came out was insanely stupid. I had gotten an 8gb 3 weeks earlier and then tried swapping it out for the new one. Yeah right, At&t keeps the stock super limited so ordering one is this big deal and you have to charge the initial $199 to your card instead of being able to cleanly swap. So at&t told me to try the apple store, (WHICH THEY SAID COULD EXCHANGE CLEANLY AS LONG AS I HAD THE AT&T RECIEPT) so 2 hr.s in line later the mac people tell me they can't do exchanges on iPhones bought at an at&t store. So I went back to AT&T and I decided to take the $100 cash back, which they said they could just put back on my credit card if I came in the original store of purchase. No way, the manager said that it could either go to
store credit or towards my phone bill. Even getting my 8gb phone when it was $199 is a story in itself and it' completely apparent that apple and AT&T are very far from where they need to be in terms of customer service. So after all that venting I'm glad the 3gs overheats.

not overheated but overated but you can still trash it in the pool
