  We present finite temperature solutions describing N_c D5 branes wrapped on
the S^2 of the resolved conifold in the presence of N_f flavor brane sources
and their backreaction, i.e. N_f/N_c ~ 1. In these solutions the dilaton does
not blow up at infinity but stabilizes to a finite value. Thus, we can use them
to generate new ones with D5 and D3 charge. The resulting backgrounds are
non-extremal versions of the "flavored" resolved deformed conifold. It is
tempting to interpret these solutions as gravity duals of finite temperature
field theories exhibiting non-trivial phenomena as Seiberg dualities, Higgsing
and confinement. However, a first necessary step in this direction is to
investigate their stability. We study the specific heat of these new flavored
backgrounds and find that they are thermodynamically unstable. Our results on
the stability also apply to some of the non-extremal backgrounds with
Klebanov-Strassler asymptotics found in the literature.
