Some boffin wrote:...most antenna placement these days is based on FCC rules about how much energy a device can send into a user's head; that's the reason most antennas are at the bottom of phones nowadays. Unfortunately, our hands are usually on the bottom of the phone, and the FCC doesn't test energy absorption through the hands, only through the head. What's the ideal way of holding your phone? You should hold it by the top, as if it were hanging in midair.

basic RF theory
people forget mobile phones are actually full duplex radio sytems.
problems seen are all due to the fact that its not really a good idea to touch an antenna of any kind. makes reception variable at best. especially in the frequency band of mobiles. small antenna/big hand.
