Hi,

I live in the UK. I bought a US iPhone from eBay in July 07. Around March this year I noticed it would get warmer than it used to - especially during wifi use. Then it started to get very warm when charging.

About 1 month ago it would lose a full charge after about 6 hours and remain warm throughout those 6 hours. So I got the battery replaced. I only got it back yesterday so maybe I need to run through a few charge cycles but the battery life seems as bad as ever and then unit was very warm whilst charging... I have a 16GB iPhone too to compare against and I know that can get a little 'warm' during heavy use/charging but its nothing like my old 8GB.

Any suggestions? Is it really dead?
