The 3G and 3GS use the same case. I've had my white 3G since the day it came out. I run GPS on 3G all the time. With either Google Maps or XGPS. I run them solely as GPS and though my phone gets a little warm, it's not hot and it surely doesn't disfigure. The only reason my phone isn't a perfect bright white is cause it's a year old now and it's gotten dirty cause I run it caseless. So Dsr1205, you're making a mistake for not wanting to get a white phone. It looks amazing.
My 3G did this browning... noticed for the first time recently.
It's not just a 3GS thing.
My 3GS is black. Glad now.

Your 3G won't get as hot as the 3GS because it has a much slower CPU and GPU.
It is absolutely possible that the casing on the iPhone have an issue handling the extra heat, or just that there are a bad batch of them out there that are more susceptible to this problem.
Or, the guy could be making it up for attention. It almost looks like he put it on top of his toaster oven.

if this happened to a black one, no one would see it anyways
so I doubt if it is a problem it would only happen to white ones but it's only visible on white ones

Not sure if I buy this.
Had maps running and tracking on 3g for an hour and it barley got luke warm. There are millions of whites out there and if this was a real issue it would be a lot bigger then a couple of cases. Worst case if it happens i will switch it out.
