I am having the same problem. If I use my phone for any purpose for extended talking, dowloading, or anything, it becomes very hot. Not warm, but excessive heat! To the point of being uncomfortable.

The only time I have excessive heat on my Droid is when I'm running GPS navigation in Google Maps. I'm even overclocked to 1250Mhz ... Before I jumped to the root crowd, my droid handled GPS Navigation without much of a problem - sure it got warm but not painfully hot.

Both my parents have Droids as well and use GPS Navigation quite a bit with similar experiences as mine. It took them a bit to get used to the "getting warm" issue with the Droid since they both came from dumb phones that never did this.

My battery would get up to about 120 degrees while online before I rooted but now stays pretty cool for the most part. Try getting a battery temp using something like battery indicator to try to give specific temps.

Can anyone recommend a good "phone temperature" app for non rooted users?

GPS Status gives batt temp. Chris

Battery indicator does also along with battery % and health w/o root
I don't think you can get cpu temp without root, only battery

+1 for Nav overheating. Took a 45 minute road trip yesterday and this sucker got smoking hot. Think I registered 120f. I know because my alarm went off for SetCPU as it is one of my warnings.

Other than this, the phone runs fine but this one freaked me out a little.
