Default How hot gets your battery?

Mine, after about 25 mins of use - gaming and surfing on the net - reaches 44 degrees celcius and bottom of the phone gets really hot.
This happens in normal use not while charging.
Is this normal?
What temps do you get?

Also I am experiencing signal drops for the gsm network, but I do not think this is related to heat issue.

Same here, it gets too hot to comfortably handle. Tmo is sending me another as soon as they get them in.

Doesn't get that hot for me with hours of use gaming, surfing, playing music, etc. But yesterday when streaming music via 4G, charging in the car in the sunlight (N1 dock power cord), without the ac on on a 90 degree Fahrenheit day the thing was easily 100 degrees F. Hope it's just an issue with the charging cable and heat of the day combining.

Mine reached 50°C while charging and an active app that kept the screen on. Outside felt cooking hot when I picked it up.

My wife's got hot enough today to shut down while she was using it.

I'll be playing with it tonight for a while and see if it was a one time deal, mine doesn't have that problem at all.
