Just got to thinking this- If anyone watched the keynote, you remember when Steve couldn't get the NYTimes to load on the iPhone4? Maybe he was holding it wrong.:p
 
by the looks of it he was holding it wrong but same time he never used it to make a call and never had data enabled on the phone except wifi
 
Doesn't matter the way he was holding it.

It was a issue with the wifi, "holding the phone wrong" doesn't affect wifi connections on the iphone, only cellular signal.
 
Depending on how I hold my phone, I lose some wifi signal too, not just 3g. The phone said "Could not activate cellular network" during the keynote.
 
It worked once people shut down their MyFi's or w/e they are called.

Oh, and the almighty Steve Jobs can never hold it wrong, fyi.

Or maybe he held it differently the second time. :D
Now that I think about it, I don't think it was an antenna issue, but it could still be possible!
 
No. He was using BOTH the 3GS and the 4 and neither one worked. And he wasn't holding the iPhone 4 in the way that is claimed makes the signal dropped.
