To be honest, if this is a general hardware failure, I'll suck it up because I'm stuck with ATT. My credit sucks and I can't afford the $400 security deposit that Verizon wants, and besides the antenna issue this is the best Android on ATT.

I can learn to change my holding habits if I have to. I think it's ridiculous, but I can do it. Everything else about the phone is pretty amazing. If you're techie enough to work through the initial un-user-friendliness of even the most simplest of tasks, then once you get the phone setup as you want it, it's pretty damn slick.
Hmm...best way to tell is visit a T-mobile store and hold it the same way you do know...and even if bars disappear try to surf the net and see how it is...

There is no question you will loose signal when you touch it due to FCC requiring the antenna to be on the bottom..but it shouldn't be that significant...so it may just mean crappy signals from AT&T...
