Mine is doing this too... When I was using the telenav while it was plugged into the car charger, the thing was almost scalding...
I am finding when the signal strength is low, it tends to keep pretty warm as well...
I wonder if this heat problem is a known or acceptable issue with Palm?? non of the Pre released reviews mention it, but then again, perhaps this is why people were not allowed to hold it
Its one of the biggest concerns I have with the phone at this point...
