How Do You Hold Your Nokia Mobile Phone?

How do you hold your Nokia mobile phone?There are loads of different ways of holding your Nokia, and just about every single way you can think of results in you being able to make a phone call without fear of losing your signal. This isn’t the case with some rival products, so we’ve been wondering just how exactly you do hold your phone. Join us after the break to find out more…

With Nokia handsets coming in a variety of different shapes, sizes and designs, and having sold over one billion units, it’s inevitable that there are countless different ways of holding your Nokia. One thing we’re sure of, is that none of them affect the reception you get – unlike with some rival handsets.

Our friends at Nokia Conversations have been looking at the different ways many of us hold Nokia mobile phones – from a thumb and finger approach, to cupping your Nokia in your hand, to balancing it on your little finger.

The variation is endless, and however you hold your mobile you’ll still be able to make and receive calls without fear of losing your signal – a design flaw on some other non-Nokia products.

While we agree with Nokia Conversations – check out the pics below to see some of their ideas – we think there are many other ways of holding a Nokia – some of us here at NokNok hold a handset by just the three edges, for instance.

We’d like to know how you hold your Nokia, then, safe in the knowledge that however bizarre it may be – or however many hands and fingers you choose to use, you’ll still be able to carry out that handy task – making phone calls.

Leave a comment below and let us know how you hold your Nokia.

    Joking aside, ALL phones are subject to varying degrees of antenna interference/signal attenuation from the human body. The apparent issue with the iPhone 4 is that a key junction between the two separate elements of its antenna frame can be bridged by human conduction (palm, finger) while under normal use conditions. The sensitive junction is really in a sweet spot for right or left handers who may normally hold the phone in their resp. left hand. I would also safely assume that other conditions can combine to exacerbate this issue, including humidity, changes in temperature which promote condensation, and/or human perspiration. I would imagine it will be safely solved with the silicone bumper. Yes, for some this is aesthetically unpleasant for the “Bang & Olufsen” of phones. However, it should be a simple fix that might also help protect the glass surfaces from drop shock. I think it is a beautiful phone, but maybe a bit impractical for some considering the design choices which were made.

    Yes, technically one can explain everything.

    But who cares ?

    Ultimately, Apple did a recodr bookings for the iPhone 4 & has some basic issues with it. Not a good user experience.

    Will apple “call-back” all the sold phones & repair it for free ? The way car guys do or Sony did with laptop batteries.
