I've tried (firmly) cupping my iPhone 3GS in my hand, both in my left and in my right, and in either position I lose up to four bars (in a place where I have very strong reception).

How does it affect actual performance, i.e. dropped calls? Do you hold your phone that way usually? If not, is there a problem when you hold it the usual way?

There is no such thing as dropped calls in Sweden — iPhone or not (mostly a US phenomenon, I think).

And no, I don't usually hold it that way, I just wanted to see how/if it affected the 3GS as well.
