Remember the huge “antennagate” mess that followed the early iPhone 4 launch? You know, the issue that caused signal drops when people held their phones a certain way, which may or may not be the reason why the next iPhone won’t be coming with the 4’s wrap-around external antenna design. Anyway, we all thought that was over with when Apple showed (kind of) that a lot of other phones can be death-gripped too. While it might not be such a big deal now (despite the antenna issues, Apple still managed to sell millions of iPhone 4s anyway), here’s something new: the death grip affects the Windows Phone 7 platform too. Specifically, HTC’s HD7, as shown in the video. That’s a pity, since the HD7 still looks pretty good, and is still probably the best WP7 phone you can pick up today. But seriously, just don’t hold it that way and you should be fine.
