After seeing the press event apple held today on the iPhone 4′s antenna issue we were in shock and ahhh, could the BlackBerry Bold 9700 really have “Antennagate”? So we decided to test a few BlackBerry smartphones. First we tested the BlackBerry Pearl Flip and it experienced no signs of signal drop, next was the Bold 9000…still nothing. We went through a few models and found no weak spot in the design of the phones. But wait Steve did the test with the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and so did we. Take a look at the video as we hold a Telus BlackBerry Bold 9700 in the “Death Grip” for over two minutes. Does anyone really experience any antenna issues on their BlackBerry? Let us know in the comments.

    You did it wrong. Grab it with your right hand and cover it up on the lower Right.

    Hold it with your right hand instead of your left hand

      Still nothing on any of my devices. Im not saying it doesn’t happen, it’s just not to the extent the iPhone 4 does. And berry users can hold their phone how they want, only holding it in abnormal ways will reproduce the issue that is seen on the iPhone 4.

    I can not understand all the big problems. I mean really almost every smartphone has some connections problems if it isn’t properly in the hand. But I still think Apple should do something for the best smartphone ever. But I guess they will rather make an iPhone 5 to earn some more money.
