BlackBerry Torch getting warm?!

[ZAGuy84]

Hi All,

Brief history I've had with the BlackBerry Torch - 2 weeks after getting the phone, it started scrolling by itself. Sent back and after another 2 weeks was issued a new phone. Now I've noticed that while I use the phone, the area below the battery (just behind the keyboard) gets warmer and warmer (similarly to what lap tops and desk tops do). I assume its because its "working" and the area is heating up but don't know if it needs to be taken back again or I'm being over-sensitive given my history with the phone?

Has this happend to anyone else with a Torch?

Had similar experience with my Samsung GS. Also took it back. Seems it might be a feature of some the smartphones?

Its designed like that to keep your hand warm in winter

Take it back

LED lamps in torches work better ... much cooler ;-)

I don't think it is something to be too concerned about when the phone is actively sending/receiving data on HSPA. My iPhone 4 does the same when transmitting lots of data. It should not be getting that hot when idle.
