So I couldn't wait for my preorder to arrive and decided to reserve a iPhone at a Apple Store thru the Apple site. Was in and out of the store within 15 mins with a brand new iPhone, while my pre-order is stuck in China, Korea, or AK.
Activated the iPhone my self at home and restored with iTunes. While restoring iPhone got really really hot, and then saw the warning. So I let the phone sit there for 20 mins and its still hot. Decided to turn it off and then retry to finish the restore after it cools down.
While restoring iPhone from the back up with iTunes received the warning again. After staying hot for over 30 mins after the iPhone was shut down decided to let the phone sit there over night and try again in the morning.
Try to turn it on and try to restore again, doesn't turn on.
Call Apple and after trying couple different things, the CS tells me its a hardware issue and doesn't appear the iPhone is going to turn on.
So this $800 device is dead within couple hours.
I'll have to return iPhone and get a full refund for the iPhone.
