Nokia pokes fun to the not-left-handed-friendly Apple iPhone 4 by showing us how to hold a Nokia phone.

The article shows 4 ways to hold a Nokia phone: thumb and finger, the cup, the balance, and the four edge grip. (I didn’t know there are so many ways!)

Nokia also emphasizes that Nokia phone is left-handed friendly and won’t drop signal by the way you hold the phone.

While many of us who are outside US, France, Germany, UK and Japan are waiting for Apple iPhone 4, Tom from BlendTec took a brand new iPhone 4 and.. blend it!

For Apple-haters, you might like him. For Apple fanboys/fangirls, I know you hate him as much as I do. “Hey! It’s an iPhone 4! What a waste!” (Although, iPhone 4 is not left-handed friendly)

Malaysia: Apple iPhone 4 has been sold in US, France, Germany, UK and Japan. Malaysians would need to wait for few more months before local telcos offer iPhone 4.

But, if you have a lot of money to spend, you could be the very first few Malaysians who own iPhone 4. Here is the unofficial Apple iPhone 4 price list:

Apple iPhone 4 16GB (Black) – RM3,800
Apple iPhone 4 32GB (Black) – RM4,300

*Add RM200 to get WHITE version of iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4 is unlocked, supports any carrier’s SIM card. The seller would also help to cut your SIM card to micro-SIM size to fit into iPhone 4.

Please let me know in the comment below if you know a different iPhone 4 price.

Update: @ShaolinTiger reported a lower price for iPhone 4 16GB, RM3200.

Apple iPhone 4 has been delivered but some users complained that the smartphone cannot connect to the network and drop calls, if they hold the iPhone 4 in left hand.

Apple iPhone 4 features, price and availability

Apparently, it is caused by the unique design of the iPhone 4, which uses stainless steel band as part of the antenna system. When you hold iPhone 4 with left hand, the antenna at the bottom-left corner is covered by your skin and thus, somehow, block the radio signal.

Anyway, not every iPhone 4 has the antenna problem. Some kind of bad quality control there. If you got the unlucky one, attaching Apple rubber bumper accessory would solve the problem.
