I took this video yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeUBjKvKcsk
I'm running the Speedtest app over a 3G connection. I have a 5-bar signal thanks to a Wi-Ex booster. When the iPhone lays flat on my hand, it's all fine. Now notice how a grip IMMEDIATELY stops the download or upload tests. It's striking. I ran the test twice in the video, holding my grips even longer the second time. Please, Apple, don't tell me there isn't a problem with a non-insulated antenna! :-(
In another video, I show the usual with-sleeve / without-sleeve grip-of-death. It can't be a simple bug with how many bars are displayed since it affects the downloads to the point where it can stop them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csO47DVTJDQ
(and, yes, I am a fanboy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNHCDy_dPS8)
