You can see in the test pics - they hold the bottom of the phone away from the jaw - just like in actual use. You'd expect lower results from a phone with the antenna down there; the FreeRunner must really kick out some juice ;) 2008/9/3 Cédric Berger [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at

You really shouldn't be attempting any tests whilst holding any wifi gear right next to other bits of kit. It's like getting two people to scream in each other's ears and wondering why they didn't report a good experiance. I'd re-run the tests from a different room to the one the access point is
