HTC G2/Desire Z weak wifi when held a certain way

[masterfunk]

Hey there guys, i currently have an issue with my recently purchased G2. Whenever i have the keyboard out holding vertically, i noticed my wifi signal started to decrease when i held at a certain position with my left hand. I usually have my left index finger resting on the side of the keyboard (top part of the phone), whenever i am holding it horizontally and i have noticed that the wifi drops considerable when doing so from 3 to 1, indicated by the wifi signal on the phone.

Any of you guys have the same problem? Try covering the top part of the phone or the left side of the phone if its held landscape (the area where t-mobile logo is) and tell me if your wifi strength decreases. Thanks guys!

Have no such problem's with my Z at all!!!

I realize my reply is late. But absolutely. Holding the Z with the keyboard extended and landscape view makes the wifi antenna weak. I often if surfing will input what I need, and turn the phone back portrait orientation. Nice to see It wasn't just me.

If I hold that position, the connection actually drops almost.

Sad design flaw....

Changing radios though MIGHT improve it

Am I missing something here? - where is the breaking news? - your wifi antenna is in the top part of the G2, if you cover it up with your hand, the signal strength is gonna drop off, silly!
