Get a case for the phone, like a Body Glove or Otterbox. I agree the phone gets hot with use and it dampens the effect for the user. There is an update coming that might solve the issue I hope. There is a leaked update out now that you could find and install and see if that works.

Do you use a task killer? If so, stop.

There have been reports I've seen in various blogs of users using task killers that make the phone so incredibly hot that they've been known to burn fingers. The constant hit on the CPU the task killer would be causing would also be enough to drain the battery rather quickly.
