Has anyone else had problems with the Satio overheating. If I hold it in my hand for a long period of time the battery starts to get very warm indeed. I've noticed this while recording a long video or simply browsing for a while. It takes about 15 minutes to become really warm at which point the phone becomes unstable and will normally lock up. Restarting it doesn't solve the problem. I either have to let it cool down or switch battery to my spare.

Anyone else ?

I took 20 minutes video and did'n noticed any heating problems. But if I start charging after one minute it becomes a little bit wormer, but after few seconds everything is fine.

No problem like that here. In fact my C905 gets much warmer when in use.

I guess I'm not surprised that it's normal, but I can't be doing it with it locking up like that when it happens. Between that and that all my flash photos are covered in these bluddy orb things, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb_(optics)
I've finally given in and decided to send it back to be replaced by a 97 mini. The fact that voda are allowing me to change it well outside the 7 days (almost 2 months in fact !) speaks volumes.

I really wanted to love this phone and in many ways I did, but in the end I had an opt out to a potential 18 months of irritation and I felt I had to take it.
