Apparently there have been over heating problems with the new iPhone 3GS, its not all the handsets but a majority of them which have been affected.
Someones piece actually got discolored because of it being overheated, while he was using the GPS over 3G wireless service.

This is quite a major thing to happen, especially with a product that people are waiting for and that is of such a big brand.

So for those who are wanting to purchase it, think about it first.

Tanmaya

its ok no need to be sorry, it happens.

No i have not used the iPhone yet, and am not really keen on it either, the reason for this is that my basic needs are just making and receiving calls and sms's. Although on the whole i think the phone does look very nice.

I recently purchased a iphone 3gS from hk, and i don't have to unlock the phone to work with the Indian carriers.I simple inserted my bsnl sim and activated with the itunes. believe me its a really wonderful handset,and no one can compete it. I am really happy to be one of its proud owner. on the other hand regarding the problem of over heating, its true that this handset gets heated but not over-heated.This is bcoz of its fast processor, i spent 3-4hrs working on the net with this device, but yes phone's design has to be improved by apple to remove the heating problem. Rest, if we talk about the features this phone is the "BAAP" of all the mobile handsets. Its app store is vast and too easy to access. I am too happy with my handset. don't believe on these kind of rumors of over-heating and all, these kind of rumors are worthless. the pic posted on the web of the overheated iphone can be true, but it might be possible that the iphone is not in the normal stage, phone may be defected, on this kind of rumors you can't say that every iphone 3gS in the world are defected.

Its becoming a usual problem with modern phones now, over heating that is. Phones are becoming more advanced these days that there are some that are almost like a mini desktop computer when used. And for the over heating problem, its really a pain in the... (you know what). Like that phone you mentioned, everything is great except that it over heats and malfunctions. I think besides the design, phone companies should also start putting fans as cooler to phones.

iphone also does not have speakers. This limits its function to only listen to music through a headset. There also has to be some technological advancements to solve the excessive heating problem.
