iPhone 4 heating up

I presume it's normal for them to get very hot after a while, especially if your surfing the net using a 3G connection, even only after a minute or two mine gets very hot. I presume this is normal? :confused:

Yup mine always gets hot when I'm charging it and watching video (as to be expected).
So yeah it's not unusual, with any phone for that matter. Mines usually coming from where the battery is, but that's obviously because it's charging and draining at the same time. Maybe it's not good for the battery, but oh well.

Do you use a case? I take mine off to help ventilate when it's running really hot.

A minute or two? That seems very quick I have to say. But it is normal to heat up. It shouldn't be uncomfortably warm though.
