It is normal for it to generate heat with pro-longed use. You are holding a mini-microwave oven next to your head.

It does depend on which model you're using. A 38 minute phone call is a fairly long call in the cell industry. I would turn your keypad back light settings to their lowest. Surprisingly, the LEDs in the keypads do emit a good amount of heat for how small they are!
