DoCoMo halts BlackBerry Bold sales due to overheating

Reuters reports that DocoMo halts sales of BlackBerry Bold because the phone can overheat while the battery is being recharged.
DoCoMo said it has sold about 4,000 high-end Bold phones, and about 30 users have complained the phone's keyboard area had heated up. The company said it has received no reports of users getting burned or of phones catching on fire.

RIM says issue appears to be limited to Japan and rules out battery problem. The sales of BlackBerry Bold devices in other countries are unaffected by this matter.
