If the phone is heating up that much then it may be a faulty phone issue - handsets have a 12 month warranty.

Found this on Whirlpool:

Does anyone find that the E51 gets hot after a few minutes of use?

Good question. I find it doesn't get hot unless it's charging and I speak on it for a few minutes. It doesn't get hot while just charging and it doesn't get hot while just speaking...weird.

Yep

The bugger does get hot

You'll need a cover just for insulation.

Damn fine phone although I'd like to change the front on the front screen so i can read it.



And yes, BG is correct. The monthly repayment of the phone either as one-off payment, or as a recurring monthly. If you're upgrading the phone but staying on the monthly access contract (if you chose one) then that will continue until it ends.

The phone payment is separate from the monthly access contract (which isn't mandatory).
