NTT DoCoMo Pulls Bold from Shelves Due to Overheating

Last week Japan’s NTT DoCoMo halted sales of the BlackBerry Bold. This was due to reports of the phone over heating. Fortunately only 4,000 devices were sold then they pulled them from the shelves so RIM could fix the problem. The Bold keyboard was reported to heat up while in use and while charging. Nobody was injured due to excess heat, but overheating is not a normal occurrence for phones, so it could lead to other issues.
On a personal note, I have noticed prior to this report that my phone does get a little warm while I am on a call, but that is it. It is fine while charging and a little warmth doesn’t worry me too much. Hopefully RIM will identify this problem and hopefully it only affected Japan so they do not have to issue a recall.
Let me know in the comments if any other Bold owners are having issues.
