iPhone Reception Issue Test

There has been a lot of talk lately about the new iPhone 4, specifically problems with reception. The iPhone 4 is running iOS 4.0, so I have decided to make a test to see if the reception issues are really software related or is it just hardware related. So I ran a test with two iPhone 3GS, one with iOS 4.0 and one with iOS 3.1.3. I gripped each phone for about 30-40 seconds to see if the reception would go down. The results were interesting to say the least. Both phones when gripped tightly lost reception!
