thats a problem with almost all CDMA phones, i don know if we can do anything about it. Just wait and see if someone does. I think making less calls will do

Cheaper Chinese handsets tend to get heated up shortly within a few minutes of their usage. The same stands for LG and Samsung models too from Reliance CDMA. The only way to escape from it is to use a hands-free.

Or invest on a high-end CDMA handset.

All CDMA sets tend to heat up because they operate on a much narrower frequency allocation. but high end sets tend to heat less.
go for Virgin vSleek (samsung Explore) or Samsung Max (u can use bluetooth headset)

Some are listed in http://www.india-cellular.com/Handset-Prices.htm

You could always strap a fan to your head. No, really though the over heating is caused by excessive use in my experience. You may want to think about using a headset device to divert some of the power. I would be interested to know if there are any products that will do the same in cooling down your electronics as the many options on the market available to cool down your laptops. Happy hunting!

I love this phone! It is stylish and sleek. It offers a modern, almost futuristic look to a device that you would use on a daily basis. The only thing that I found tough to get used to using were the buttons. If you are a person who texts on the go, without looking down at the keys, this phone may not be for you. It is hard to tell what buttons you are pressing! Aside from my text messaging battles, the phone is packed with features and tools that make it a great phone.
