If I am honest I have had similar issues with a few Sony Ericsson phones like the Elm for example. The antenna is placed at the bottom of the phone so when held it fluctuates loads. Recently I got the x10 Mini and its antenna is at the top and signal is one hundred times improved. So antennas around the bottom is not a good idea but I think manufacturers have been doing that cos of things like cameras being placed at the top. Anyone left handed?

The placement of the antenna at the bottom is a FCC requirement. However when they test phones, they do so against a human head (radiation) or body, not against a 'hand' (http://www.antennasys.com/antennasys-blog/2010/6/24/apple-iphone-4-antennas.html). The design flaw might have really gone unnoticed.
Daringfireball.com is saying the antenna issue depends on signal strength but I don't think that helps very much. It just indicates that a place with very good reception can prevent the issue from happening but what about all the other places?
I'm quite disappointed. I was really really excited about this phone. Is anyone holding out on buying an iphone 4 because of this? |

ok, I just confirmed my tomtom car kit works with the iphone 4 with the addition of a piece of cardboard to make up for the reduced thickness of the new phone! lol!

LOL well I seemto have a thing for White handsets blame my X6
do you think this new iPhone will sort itself out?
im not liking how many bugs it has at the moment then just seeing how
awful quality the camera is aswell has put me off slightley more.
I guess your getting a overpriced disaster waiting to happen if you buy it now

You would think they would test the antenna in the real world not in factories

They do test it in the real world but it seems they use cases to prevent the phones from being seen (like the gizmodo one). There's really a chance they've missed this flaw.. very sad ::(: |
