Help This phone is hot!

[TheKirk]

Hi guys..

I just bought this phone, and I absolutely love it! It's amazingly fast and smooth, and Android is awesome!
Sometimes (I think most often if I play a game or something like that) it tends to get quite hot on the back of the phone (around the Google logo). Not too hot for me to touch it, but definitely hotter than the rest of the phone.
I just wondered if this is normal, or if my hardware is using way too much energy?

Thank you!

SGS do tend to run hot especially when charging via the usb lead from a pc. Nothing to worry about

When it is charging or connected to the PC it gets hot. Also if you play a game that require the proccessor to stay at maximum it will get hot. It happens to most phones but it can be ignored.

Okay, thanks for your answers
It is charging, and I am playing with it too at the same time, so I'll stop worrying

It gets hot if you use Mobile AP for a long time too.

Hah, It's minus 19 C outside, would be nice to have a program that would keep the phone nice and warm, to combat any ill effect the cold might have... Maybe with a fireplace animation.
