Does anybody else's phone cradle get excessively warm when the phone is in place? My Moto V710 is fully charged in minutes and is almost too warm to hold. I would be worried about leaving it in for a long trip versus a 40 minute commute.

My Moto v551 feels about the same whether charged from cradle or AC in house, given that the cradle is under the arm rest, etc. Not hot, but very warm and I think probably normal given the circumstances I described.
