The Lumia always gets very hot when I am making Skype calls for like 10+ minutes.

Nope. Never. I was surprised how it didn't get warm like my HTC. I browse a lot and stream music over 3G literally for hours on the way and it doesn't make a difference. Maybe different batches of hardware?

You could easily check your hardware revisions ;)

lumia 800 has a built-in battery and its unibody design which may be the reason why it is easy to heat up

Mine does heat up when using it a lot. But I suffer from battery draining every now and then while on 3g, then it stays hot all the time untill battery runs out. It has to be a software thing since last update it got much better and now the battery can stand a day on 3g and 2 days on 2g.

Mine heats up randomly, sometimes while charging (with a different one than the one supplied), sometimes while gaming for hours, but nothing as such only because of 3G, I am on 3G all the time, with 3 apps sending push notifications, email, and audio streaming for hours together!

I mean it's easy to heat up when surfing the Internet or something like that in 3G.Those apps sending push notifications...dont cause it heating up that much

Facing same problem with 3G

I have a Nokia C5 I am facing same problem on 3G mode. When I download a song, or watch a video on Youtube for continuos 5 minutes it get so much hot, my backside of the phone has Aluminium cover which gives the feeling like burning when using 3G. This heating up problem has affected my phone's battery life.

Symbian OS is better than Windows Phone in this condition,and you have a removeable battery
