Best way to hold the phone in Landscape!

I know posting a thread like this is just an open invitation for some to "Flame" me for something so obvious. But I honestly don't really care. I saw this posted on another thread and after I read it, I tried it and it works well for me.

When holding your phone in Landscape, flip open the kickstand. Now, with your right hand, grasp the phone with your pointer finger above the kickstand and the rest of your fingers below the kickstand, so that you middle finger is almost touching the the camera lens. This works great for watching videos or browsing the web. It kind of makes you feel like you have a better grip on the phone.

Just remember...Something that is obvious to some, may not be to others!!

Actually this is pretty comfortable. It's totally better than how I had been holding it with my foot.

I would have to agree it works well for me.

Hold it like you shouldn't hold an iPhone just to piss the iPhone users off. Lol

Re: Best way to hold the phone in Landscape!

When I first read the post header...I was oh crap, here we go again with the antenna bs..but then I noticed he was talking about how to hold the phone when using features and apps on the phone.

The whole deal with the signal drop is dumb...every phone out there has a weak spot when it comes to where the antenna is placed...for the Evo it's up by the ear piece...but you won't notice the bars drop like the Iphone does....the antenna on the Iphone is on the outside of the phone vs inside on the evo. Oh, btw theres a article on Engadget saying that Steve Job's knew about the antenna issue over a year before the Iphone 4 was released, but decided to deal with it instead of fix the issue. He walked into his own crap when it hit the fan by not dealing with it back then. Funny, to think all these Iphone fanboys say the Iphone is the most superior phone in the world....aahha...Not a chance...

Yeah SJ is a dork in all sense of the word. That is how he treats is customers because he has them so brainwashed, if he said that his new itoilet was the "best shit in the world", they would believe him and start pre-ordering it. What's funny is that the itoilet is a rebranded porta-potty.

I hold my phone with my left hand and use the right to tap/scroll in landscape. Sometimes I use both hands for a different feel!

I do this with my left hand. Now, when I am trying to text I hold the phone in portrait mode and text with my right thumb. This is easier for me using Swype.
