The entire scenario applies to low signal areas to begin with. That is the premise behind the iPhone 4 issue. T-Mobile stores usually do NOT suffer from low signal. I am not saying that you would have scene noticable signal reduction with that phone, but I am not saying you wouldn't either. What I am saying is that your test was completely invalid. -- Thomas T.

What I am > saying is that your test was completely invalid. actually it's more valid because if i can cause an effect where there's a strong signal, it can only be worse when it's weak.

I actually own one, have carefully tested it under low signal conditions, and there is no reported drop in signal strength (dBm & asu, not bars) no matter how I hold it with either hand. -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups."
