While the other cellphone manufacturers have had a field day claiming that the new iPhone is defective because their phones don’t have “dead spots” where the signal weakens if held, it is becoming apparent that Apple is correct: all mobile phones are subject to this phenomenon.

A sampling:

Nokia 6230i user guide (more at Edible Apple):

Or how about the HTC Droid Eris, one of the hot new Android phones? (via Daring Fireball)

How about the Palm Pre?

Anyone locate any other samples to share?

Updated: Now David Chartier has started a Tublr page to collect all the instructions on how not to hold cellphones, called Don’t Hold It Wrong. My question is when will Consumer Reports update all their cellphone reviews to include such information, as well as demand fixes from all the manufacturers?
