The link in the first post says they have an internal kill switch for if they get over 113 degrees... does that mean people in Vegas and the like can't use it outside during 3 months of the year?

I was in Vegas 1 year ago today and it was 112 degrees with 6% humidity if I remember right...

The advisory on the Apple website indicates the temperature warning screen is featured on both the 3G and 3GS, so what seems to be the fuss? There are not a lot of 3G owners complaining about the built-in temp alarm triggering, so heat must not be a problem. And doesn't the 3GS run at 600 Mhz as opposed to 624 Mhz for the older 3GS?

Good question;

This might shed some light on the issue. According to this article
this overheated iPhone is one in a million. As such, I wouldn’t
worry that this is going to happen to your iPhone 3GS any time soon—if ever.

Agreed heat is caused by the processor, but if you read the comments, there are other iPhone 3GS owners who did experience "hot potato" syndrome while using bluetooth on the phone. One owner did noticed "browning" of his white iPhone 3GS.

I believe your mileage may vary and if you iPhone runs hot...stop what you are doing and let it cool off. Go to the home screen or shut it off.

You may not want to put a case on your iPhone to prevent it from cooling off.

iPhone 3GS has a much faster processor than last year's iPhone 3G.

How about the "Oreo" effect that is plaguing new Palm Pre owners

The Oreo effect

Actually, I'm not a Palm evangelist as much as SG is an Apple Fanboi (for obvious reasons)

SG and Sunil and Barry, just to set the record straight...have tons of stock in APPL, love most of their products and including the iPhone. I endure using a PC with Windows @ work, but ENJOY using OS X, 10.5.7 on my Mac at home. Bought the 1st gen iPod at the first Apple Store in SoCal the first week it came out...still have iPod video, Time Capsule, etc.

Not every Apple product has been a hit (e.g. Apple TV). However, my biggest beef with the iPhone is that it doesn't have a physical keyboard and that it is only available on AT&T. The Palm Pre is far from perfect and I wasn't comparing the two device on this thread.

My bro-in-law wanted a new smartphone and based on his needs, I suggest a new iPhone 3GS!!! However, he had to get another one because because it kept on overheating. So, I brought up this issue for a FYI and for personal safety reason.

I also noticed my friend's Palm Pre running hot when you do processor intensive things and yes the Palm Pre also has a 600MHz processor. Something about those 600MHz processors...

Now, I predict and big hit from RIM with the release of the Blackberry Tour on both Verizon, Sprint, and Alltel networks!! Just you see....

Okay, now let's all have a group hug!

P.S. I agree I like to stir the pot!
