Due to overheating, DoCoMo halts BlackBerry

NTT DoCoMo Inc, Japan's biggest mobile phone operator, said on Friday
it has halted sales of Research In Motion's 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.

"This issue appears to be specifically limited to the BlackBerry Bold
devices sold in Japan since last week and sales of BlackBerry Bold
devices in other countries are unaffected by this matter," RIM said in
a statement.

RIM said it had ruled out a battery problem, but said the root cause
is still being investigated.
