Hi Sieghard, I used to carry my 3GS in a Defender and used the belt clip quite a bit. As I remember I started out with it on my right, dominant, side, but soon switched it to my left too, though I couldn't remember why. Your question got me to thinking and so I poked around the internet and found an article about crossdraw holsters that provided a ready explanation: it's easier to access the device from across your body, when you're sitting in a chair.
