Doesn't mean they won't fix the issue

So posting a common sense advisement on operating temperatures in their knowledge base means they won't address the issue? I don't even see where it mentions changing the color of the plastic. Oh, and this was last modified over a week ago (presumably to reference the 3GS in addition to the 3G). Way to read into it though.

My phone has heat detection and shuts down. Niffty.

I'd rather the phone have heat detection, and throttle back the processor speed and continue to function (although having it properly engineered in the first place would be even nicer)...

i understand its a faster chipset inside of it, so it probably produces more heat, but if I live in Phoenix or Vegas or someplace where the ambient, not direct sunlight temperature is above the operating range of the product, then something isn't right.
