That being said, VZW is sending you a new battery, its always possible the old one malfunctioned and was sending too much juice causing excessive heat build up.
I second what someone else on here said, get a headset of some kind...bluetooth is great, but the wired headset that came with your storm would work fine too...that way you don't have to worry about hitting the mute button, and you don't have to hold your hand up to your face for that long.
The heat issue was hopefully a one time thing, but if the phone got that hot, you might want to start nitpicking it...see if you can find enough wrong with it to get a replacement, that way no worries about any heat damage, you have a new phone and a new battery.
I wasn't trying to accuse you of causing the problem in my first post...just that alot of people don't realize the storm's battery cover is also used to dissipate heat. I also can't stand people who fake injuries for lawsuits, so good on you for not trying that route, you'd likely lose anyways in this case.
