Just wondering why so many news articles say don't get an iphone 4 if you are left-handed. I would imagine the problem affects right-handed users more than left-handed users.

I am right-handed, and I almost always hold my phone in my left hand. Holding the phone in my weak hand allows my dominant hand to:
- do all the tapping on the phone
- control the mouse if I'm talking to someone while at my computer
- control the steering wheel if using the phone while driving :eek:
 
Depends what I'm doing. Being right handed, I'm more likely to hold it in my left hand while I do something else with the right. When using the touch screen I almost always hold it in the left hand and touch with the right.

Right handed, hold in left (like steve said not to)

Incipio NGP case FTW
 
I'm left handed and hold it with my left hand when using it as a phone. I cancelled my order when I saw a video of how serious this is.
 
Left-handed. I generally hold the iPhone in my right hand, but definitely swap to my left to speak on the phone.
 
The wrong one, according to what Apple implies... aka the left hand, with very little usage in the right (I'm right handed, if it matters).
 
Both hands. I'm a bit ambidextrous. However, I tend to hold the Phone in my Right hand when making calls.
 
I'm right handed, but almost always hold the phone in my left hand when talking. I generally grasp the phone though, don't have it rest in my palm. When on the phone, my pinky goes on the bottom of the phone, my middle and ring fingers on the right side, my index finger on the back panel, and thumb on the left. It allows me to do other things while I'm on the phone.

When I'm surfing the internet, I sit it in my right hand, resting on my pinky on the bottom of the phone, my ring, middle, and index fingers on the back as further support, and use my thumb to control it.
 
I'm left handed but I hold it in my right hand just for normal use. I hold it in my left hand when on a call.
 
Left handed and no reception problems or dropped calls here.....and I get maybe 1 bar (2 if lucky) at my house. My wife's BB doesn't do any better.
