So I keep seeing people put "You should hold the phone differently. No one holds it like that etc etc." It really does not matter how I am holding right now...the question is...is there a specific way I should hold it? 
Got a tip for us?

How should I hold my phone?...

It's a serious poll, but kind of an indirect attack at the people who think that this product is actually acceptable with the reception issue. I know not everyone has the issue, but I have seen so many responses from people saying "no one holds the phone like that" "You are trying to do it on purpose" etc.
Truth is...even if i wanted to make my phone drop a call by holding it a certain way...it shouldn't. No cell phone should. That is just ridiculous. The people who say that this is acceptable are just obsessed with Apple...or I would like to believe that they are...no one can be that stupid/arrogant/stubborn to actually say "you are incorrectly holding your cell phone".
If you buy a car and holding the bottom left corner of the steering wheel causes your car to sway from side to side...is this acceptable? Hell no. Lol.
Someone else gave a great one about HDTV's. If you buy an HDTV and it works unless you sit down and look at it (which causes it to have a fuzzy/distorted picture), is it acceptable? No
If you buy an Xbox 360 and get the Red Ring of Death because you hold your controller incorrectly...is this acceptable? No.
I know some of those are stupid, but the people saying this is acceptable are not showing any form of intelligence in my opinion.
Flame away
I want them to realize they are idiots for saying I am incorrectly holding my phone.

Awe. No diehard people that think Apple does everything perfectly is going to flame? Fine. Gonna go out. Sat. night. Someone leave something I can respond to. I want some of the people who said "hold it correctly" to post in here. Otherwise I will look up some of the posts and I guess call people out for internet drama. It is quite amusing to me
