I have really been liking how light weight the Air is, that is the reason I bought it and didn't switch back to Samsung yet. The single camera is fine for me, not as good as multiple cameras but it works just fine. The single speaker is fine 98% of the time. Battery life has been fantastic on this phone.
However, I finally found a real shortcoming with the Air. I live in a hot weather state (North Carolina). It has finally gotten to temps during the day of 90F on a "cool" day to 100+F on others. If I take my phone out of my pocket to use it, outside in direct sunlight, this phone gets massively hot very quickly, in only a few minutes. So hot that at times putting it back into my pocket didn't seem good enough, I would power it down to be safe. At first I thought it was a fluke but it kept happening. Then this last weekend I saw an article on a tech site talking about this exact issue with the Air. Apparently because it is so thin, and how the internals were done, it can't hold up to the combination of direct sunlight with extreme heat temps.
Still love the Air and glad I bought it as summer won't last forever but ya that's a real negative for those of us that live in very hot locations in summer. If I still lived in PA for example this would not be an issue as the intensity of the sun in the summer even at 90F isn't a big deal like it is in NC (plus low 80's is typical PA summer weather).
