Nokia has published a new blog post entitled, "How do you hold your Nokia?" mocking the new iPhone 4 and its reception issues.
----- Weve found any of the four grips mentioned above to be both comfortable and as you can see, offer no signal degradation whatsoever. This isnt a feature youll only find on high-end Nokia devices either. Its something thats been a part of pretty much every Nokia device ever made (perhaps with the exception of that teardrop 3G one, which was a bit ridiculous).
The key function on any Nokia device is its ability to make phone calls. After all, thats why we know them universally as mobile phones (or smart phones, feature phones or mobile computers though the same grip styles work for those, too). One of the main things weve found about the 1 billion plus Nokia devices that are in use today is that when making a phone call, people generally tend to hold their phone like a . well, like a phone. Providing a wide range of methods and grips for people to hold their phones, without interfering with the antennae, has been an essential feature of every device Nokia has built.
Of course, feel free to ignore all of the above because realistically, youre free to hold your Nokia device any way you like. And you wont suffer any signal loss. Cool, huh? -----

From the Nokia E72 manual:
"Avoid touching the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or receiving. Contact with antennas affects the communication quality and may cause a higher power level during operation and may reduce the battery life."

It's funny. I just bought a Nokia X6 on Saturday.
One of the first things I noticed in the manual was the information about where the antenna is (at the bottom) and how covering with your hand can degrade the performance. In the manual. Words by Nokia. Happily blogging in contradiction of themselves?
