Funny. I'm nor blind nor do I have trouble seeing any kind of "truth". You assume way too much and can't answer a simple question like what phone you are using?
You are making irrelevant statements and draw conclusions about the phone which are not true but you are entitled to your opinions, You just do not come off as very believable when you can't even tell what your comparrison is.
I have more than one phone. All of which have more capabilities than the iPhone and do not have any limitations like the ones that Apple likes in impose. All of my phone have pretty much the same capabilities but a different form-factor. One size does not fit all; other manufacturers know this, even Apple knows this; hence why they have 13", 15" and 17" notebooks.
Look at any S60 3rd Edition. They have had more capabilities when they were introduced and some were before the iPhone ever hit the market or announced and they still have more capabilities than the latest iPhone has today. How hard is that to understand? I'm not talking about and particular phone, but a whole range and different price points and for different market segments.
Just wait for Apple to make some changes to the iPhone and see how well the current apps won't run. One of the reasons why developing for the iPhone is easier is because of the lack of variety; like screen resolution.
What happens if it turns out to be the battery? Apple recently recalled the Nano in South Korea because of the battery. WHen Nokia had a battery issue, it was easy for the consumer, take battery out, put new battery in. Not every consumer was impacted either. So Apple is not immune to battery issues either; they are made by a third-party. Apple will have a much harder time swapping batteries though.
That could just be rumor as well; using your logic here. Why is there an attorney forming a case against Apple? Sure some lawyers are ambulance chasers. So it will be interesting to see where this goes. I bet Apple settles out of court and my prediction, they say it was cheaper to settle than to fight it, but acknowledge no wrongdoing.
Now you are just thrashing. I am done.
Can't handle the truth.
What's your agenda here? Or, do you just have no life for such long, winded responses? And, why are so hostile? You're posting at MACRUMORS not NOKIARUMORS. Don't you think people here are Apple brand ambassadors?
iPhonies believe that Apple and the iPhoney is the best thing since sliced bread. I prefer to have currently technology not what has been done in the past.
Some believe that the iPhone was the first phone you could access the web on. Just to show you what Nokia has innovated and where the iPhone still falls short:

So, over 10 years before the iPhoney was released, a phone existed that had copy and paste, PIM, Internet access, etc. I guess Apple used old analog phones to get ideas for their design.
Nobody is trying to damage Apple's reputation. As a handset chip design engineer myslef, this overheating issue is not a surprise at all. Furthermore, overheating problem is for every single 3G handset Manufactures. It is mainly cause by high data rate services the 3G phone supported. I do not believe overheating problem is a isolated cases. I am sure you will see more and more coming out. Nokia and some other major handset manufactures are trying hard to overcome the problem created by the low efficiency PA chip. (in 2G or GSM low data rate services, PA chip running in a much higher efficiency mode). Due to the bandwidth it supported, PA has to back down to a very inefficient mode in order to cope with quality of the signal.
The over heating problem is there. Apple should face it and do not blame weather or something else.
Apple is the one that picks the components. Care to explain this:
Omnia HD:
HD ES 1.0: 1435 frames
HD ES 1.1: 1384 frames
PRO ES 1.0: 313 frames
PRO ES 1.1: 206 frames
CPU Performance: Float: 2691
CPU Performance: Integer: 19417
iPhone 3G S:
HD ES 1.0: 1791 Frames
HD ES 1.1: 1691 Frames
PRO ES 1.0: 774 Frames
PRO ES 1.1: 435 Frames
CPU Performance: Float: 2378
CPU Performance: Integer: 8920
Just for fun, a processor that Nokia used close to four years ago running at 330MHz:
GLBenchmark HD ES 1.0 : 2141 Frames
GLBenchmark HD ES 1.1 : 1904 Frames
GLBenchmark Pro ES 1.0 : 427 Frames
GLBenchmark Pro ES 1.1 : 564 Frames
CPU Performance
CPU Performance: Float : 1413
CPU Performance: Integer : 4257
Same 330MHz processor but with a much higher resolution screen; almost twice the resolution:
GLBenchmark HD ES 1.0 : 1899 Frames
GLBenchmark HD ES 1.1 : 1606 Frames
GLBenchmark Pro ES 1.0 : 386 Frames
GLBenchmark Pro ES 1.1 : 444 Frames
CPU Performance
CPU Performance: Float : 1409
CPU Performance: Integer : 4256
The Omnia has a higher resolution screen than the iPhone 3G S, so that explains the difference in the frames. But what about the processor specs, mainly the integer performance. That is a huge difference. CPU's in both phones are from Samsung, both are A8 Cortex ARM processors running at 600MHz. Did Apple hinder the phone through software or hardware?
There is a substantial difference between a phone that normally runs warm or even hot under heavy load, and a phone that is so hot that it is rendered unusable or becomes physically damaged in some way. "Overheating" means that the device in question is undergoing the kind of stress or pressure that is beyond its tolerances, resulting in damage or rendering the unit inoperative. That certainly isn't normal. As a "handset chip designer" I expect you can distinguish between the two.
Apple doesn't need to face what is already under control or what doesn't exist with their product in the first place. There haven't been any widespread reports of iPhone 3Gs or 3GSes that have been damaged or otherwise rendered unusable due to extreme heat. Not yet, at least.
As posted above, the CPU seems to have a huge performance issue compared to another phone with the same exact CPU. That means the iPhone 3G S has to work harder to accomplish the same task and take longer as well.
