Entering *3001#12345#* on the dial screen (then press call) might get you there. I am running iOS 4.3 Beta 3 on my at&t iPhone and it works. Not sure why Apple would switch the field test numbers for the CDMA model.
More I think about it, the more I think they may not have changed it, it may just be disabled like it was when iOS 4 first launched. When I try to access field test using the *3001#12345#* method, I can see call button flicker from pressing it, but nothing happens. When I try any other combination of characters it tries to call them.
Held normally I was getting a reading of -65 dBm on the Verizon iPhone, but in full on death grip the signal strength dropped to -83 dBm.
That is awful. When will Apple stop designing the iPhone to look nice and be more of a functional phone. If any other company made a phone that lost 19 dB of signal when held, no carrier would ever sell it. What are Apple fans going to do when the Verizon phone drops calls and they can't blame AT&T?

Not to the same extent. When Anantech did the iPhone4 review when it came out, the Nexus One was a "terrible" performer and it lost like 14 dB. This is significantly worse.

Mine drops, but its not quite that bad, more around 12-14 dB drop, I know that is still bad though. I'm not really worried about it too much right now, it works in places that my at&t iPhone 4 is unusable and that why I switched.

Considering that each 3dB loss represents losing HALF of the power, it doesn't take much to be "bad".
