oh terrific..... so apple sold me a phone that is likely to overheat if i'm outside in the summer? 
it can.... does.... and has gotten well over 113 degrees in the desert and i've been known to ride my bike in those temps (you get used to it..... to me 60 degrees is freaking freezin'!)

I love this part.

Trap the heat it is generating and of course it's going to get hot. I left my 3g on my chair one night charging to wake up in the mourning to find the cat had made a bed of it. It was rather hot too.

Yeah I found that funny that they could tell from a teardown the chip was underclocked, lol. If I remember reading correctly the chip was designed to run at 600 but could be overclock to run at 833.

No; according to the SOC manufacturer, it's underclocked.
From Wired.com:
"The heart of the logic board is the CPU, the Samsung S5PC100 (both previous iPhones used the Samsung S3C6400). It runs at 600MHz, just as T-Mobile let slip last week, but according to Samsung’s spec sheet it can run at up to 833MHz and its native speed is 667MHz. This means that Apple is underclocking, presumably for better battery life."
