Why is my Sprint cell phone getting hot?

I just got a Sprint FUSIC cell phone, and last night while on the Web with it, and watching some video, after about 15 minutes it started getting hot. Why is this? Should I be worried?

When your phone struggles to get a good signal (like when you're in a metal building) it increases it's transmitting power. This rapidly reduces the battery and causes the transmitter heat sink to dissipate the power as heat - your phone gets hot.
