Sorry to hear about your Droid, JP. Definite...Wow. Sorry to hear about your Droid, JP. Definitely something strange going on with your phone. Provided the phone wasn't shorting out and you've not rooted the device, there are several things that could have caused the problem. I suspect something was continuously accessing the network such as calendar syncing or the GPS constantly running. These running apps act just as though you've been talking on the phone for a long time which heats the phone. Being in your pocket, the phone couldn't get cooled under these situations. Another problem could be the flash turned on but just from picture the melting was lower down on the battery. <br /><br />And yes, the Storm wasn't a good device (and I'm a former BlackBerry guy). Phones like the Droid and iPhone have left BlackBerry in a scramble to catch up in terms of design, OS and apps. The Storm was a rushed attempt to get into the touchscreen market.<br /><br />I'm an iPhone guy but I'm sure you will love your new Droid 2.Bronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824445928920718031noreply@blogger.com
