How to Hold the iPhone 4 or Not to Hold the iPhone 4 for Better Reception
Multiple reports are coming out about the new iPhone 4 losing reception when the hand touches the outside metal bands which are used as the antennae for the phone. Looks like there are going to be a million videos made of people trying to show how holding the phone a certain way will cause a loss in reception.
I look at it as people showing us a million ways not to hold the phone.

okay, i get this is a real issue & i wish Apple would give people a free case or bumper until they can get it corrected, or even issue a recall. However, the way the phone is being held in each of these three examples is completely unnatural. Pick up the glass or pop can or sitting next to you. Notice you’re not gouging it into the crook of your hand, but that you are holding it with your fingers and thumb likely centimeters away from the palm of your hand. I’m still searching for real-world reception reports where the iphone 4 is being held naturally…
