Nokia Statement Backs Apple's iPhone Defense
LOL
Now that a high profile device has shown just how tricky it can be, the public is becoming more aware and educated about it.
It's not one of those "it just works" kind of things.
I'm just amazed at how much better RF has gotten overall. It used to be back in 2004-2005, you could still block the signal just by wrapping the phone in aluminum foil. Now even standing in a shield room with the door cracked open will cause a phone to not loose RF.
Apple wasn't the only company to tell users how to hold the phone BTW. I remember when LG launched the VX8600

it came with a decal on the back telling using not to hold the bottom of the phone.
No other smartphones I know of tell you not to hold a certain part though.
But it was dumb of Apple to leave it so vulnerable as to short together that easy. I will even say that this increase in sensitivity was probably due to Apple placing form before function. It was also kind of incompetent for them not to evaluate hand-induced interference and include a warning about any quirks, given the unique antenna design and the existence of that kind of thing in all phones.
HTC Nexus One
Palm Pre (Sprint)
Palm Pre (AT&T)
Those are ones I can verify personally.

BTW, I'm being facetious.

Apple has a definite problem even if it is not across the board for everyone and in my opinion, Apple is trying to make light of the issue.
