So, one of the reason I got rid of my earlier D2 G was the amount of heat the thing produced. Any level of internet activity, or graphics intensive games, tended to get the CPU area fairly toasty (not the battery, the area directly around the CPU). Not toasty enough to be uncomfortable to hold, but a lot more heat then I'd felt from a phone before.
I am disappointed to see a similar issue with the D3. It is not quite as bad as the D2 G, but it is definitely a lot warmer than any smartphone I've used.
Now, before you write this off with the standard "CPUs generate heat, they all do this, etc" - I am not a newbie. I've had every kind of PDA and smartphone there is and I've not experienced this level of toasty handset outside the Moto Droid line.
Thoughts?
