iPhone 3G Gets Hot and Melty, Cooks Dude's Leg
While the iPhone 3G definitely feels warmer than the original, it shouldn't get hot enough to cook human flesh. Or melt.

He says he pulled out the phone, which was incredibly hot. Like, plastic-meltingly hot. Check out the damage to the dock connector (and his leg), where you can really see the bubbly, heat-warped plastic:
