Black Berry Bold Is Overheating

NTT DoCoMo began selling the Bold in Japan last week. And so far it has sold about 4,000 devices. Of those devices, NTT DoCoMo says it has received complaints from about 30 users that the phone's keyboard area had heated up, Reuters reported. The company said it doesn't know of anyone getting burned from the overheating nor has it received any reports of the phone catching on fire.

RIM said that it is looking into the matter even though the company believes the temperatures appear to have "remained within the safety range of regulatory standards." Still, RIM and DoCoMo decided to suspend sales anyway until they can figure out what is causing the overheating.

AT&T sells the Bold in the United States, but RIM said in a statement that the overheating issue isn't a problem outside of Japan.

"This issue appears to be specifically limited to the BlackBerry Bold devices sold in Japan since last week," the company said. "And sales of BlackBerry Bold devices in other countries are unaffected by this matter."

RIM noted that it doesn't believe the problem is caused by the battery. But it's still investigating the root cause.

The world's top five cell phone

The world's top five cell phone makers have launched a common energy rating system for chargers, making it easier for consumers to compare and choose the ones consuming the least energy.



The new rating system developed and supported by LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics and Sony Ericsson, ranges from five stars for the most efficient chargers down to zero stars for the ones consuming the most energy.

The measure is a response by the cell phoen industry to heavy criticism from environmentalists. The industry has become the world's top consumer electronics business by volume.

Chargers continue to use electricity if left plugged into the socket, even if the phone is disconnected. Around two-thirds of the electricity used by cell phones are wasted this way.

"If the more than three billion people owning mobile devices today switched to a four- or five-star charger, this could save the same amount of energy each year as produced by two medium sized power plants," Nokia said in a statement.

The world's top four charger makers include Flextronics, China's BYD Co, Emerson Group and Finnish Salcomp.
