E51 overheating ?

Hello,

Yesterday I had a strange problem with my loved E51. I was out of office for a meeting, and before the meeting statrs I was looking for a WLAN, I did found an open wlan but I got the "gateway unreachable" error, so I disconnected, and disabled searching for W-Lan (the 4 square logo, in the upper right corner was still present). The meeting was about to start so I put my phone in the case. After about an hour, me mad a break and I took my phone out of the case, and it was really hot. When looking at the phone, the battery went down for full to low battery in about an hour (the four squqre logo, in the upper right corner was still present). After rebooting the phone the temperature went down, but I'm quite a bit afraid, that it damaged something, or that the battery was going to explode (like reported for some other phones).

So Did anyone already encounter this problem? Why did it empty my battery so fast?

Thanks for your advice.
Regards
