I'm on a Milestone (GSM variant) and when I made a call (20 min long today), I noticed it getting pretty toasty.
Really 10 min into the call it starts getting warm, but any shorter it should be ok.
15 min in, I fired up my battery widget and it said I was at 41C (which is just over 100F). Then at the end of the call I checked again. 41C still. Fired up TempMonitor and it said I was at 45C according to the AK sensor (116F). It quickly dropped with the call ended.
It's definitely warm under the camera lens area. I know a lot of people are saying how a warm phone is normal and stuff, but I guess part of this is exacerbated by teh fact the camera lens is right behidn the earpiece. Feels like a handwarmer to my ear while I'm talking.
My Nokia N82 and other phones haven't gotten this warm while talking. I know it's typical when phones are USED that they get warm, but this is warmer than I remember. While I didn't get to use my 3GS for more than a week, but this was never an issue, and I'm only on day 3 with the Milestone and this is already an issue that stands out. So yes, I completely understand a phone getting warm, but it seems to me the Droid gets excessively warm, and when compared to other phones its sitting on the warm/hot side. Maybe it's just my Milestone and the GSM radio, but still, not a good sign to me.
Anyone else have any numbers/feedback?
