The only thing that seems to affect my signal so far is electrical interference. Such as when I sit my phone on my home subwoofer.
I think the hand theory may be dependent on the quality of the signal you are receiving to begin with. Here in Miami, 3G has been pretty strong. I was using my laptop 3G modem and getting 4.5mbps download speed. On the phone I was around 1.47mbps.
Remember, from what I understand, you can receive 3G signal from multiple cell towers so this may explain why no matter how I hold the phone, I have strong signal.
I am being assimilated by Macs.
Able to block 3g with his bare hands, look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane it's.... <insert witty superhero name here>
This is soooo true. If I cup the iPhone 3G at the bottom of the handset my bars go down. Let go and they go right back up. The antenna like the V1 is in the bottom of the phone.
When I realized this I started holding it with 2 hands by the edges keeping my hands away from the bottom back of the phone during downloads. Experimentation reveals that pinching it at the top left or right with one hand yields the same benefit and frees the other hand for "other" things

I dont notice this at all. Whether I cup the phone, or hold it with my fingertips, my signal stays exactly the same.

Really firmly wrap your hand around the bottom of the iPhone. You should notice it. It happens on mine nearly every time.
Alright. Ill try.
Edit: I tried it and still nothing for me...
