Default Xperia S GSM/3G/wifi Signal strength

How is the GSM/3G reception on the phone?.
Does it suffer from any signal loss due to any death grip?.

I previously had a HTC Incredible S which suffered from Incredible signal loss when i used to type sms in portrait mode while my fingers covered the lower back of the phone.....also lost wifi signals in portrait mode...

Is there any issue with this phone's signal strength GSM + Wifi(in landscape) when ur fingers are placed over the transparent strip?

This can be checked from the menu *#*#4636#*#*

Pl. post ur test results so that all can benefit...

A few reviews tried it and concluded there isn't any death grip-like effect at all. You can't actually touch the antenna since it's built into the transparant strip, so you can't really speak of a 'death grip'.

The iPhone 4 had one because you could directly touch the antenna.
Currently using Sony Ericsson J100i for old time's sake (yes, seriously).
