iPhone 4 antenna still not working properly according to Consumer Reports. --------------------------------------- Consumer Reports: Verizon iPhone has antenna issue Consumer Reports says Verizon's iPhone 4 has same 'you're holding it wrong' problem as AT&T's On Friday February 25, 2011, 1:45 pm EST SEATTLE (AP) -- Consumers Reports says the iPhone that works on Verizon Wireless' network has a similar problem to the original. If the phone is held in a certain way, it could cause dropped calls or problems dialing out. Consumer Reports tested the Verizon iPhone 4 and found that covering tiny gaps in the metal band surrounding the phone's edge causes "meaningful decline in performance." In conditions where cell signal is weak, the iPhone 4 would drop calls when the user covered the gaps by holding the phone in a specific -- but natural -- way. Consumer Reports conducted similar tests last summer on the iPhone 4 that runs on AT&T Inc.'s networks. In both cases, the publication has decided not to include the phone on its list of recommended smart phones. Apple's shares were up 1.4 percent in afternoon trading.
