Reminds me of the iPhone death grip. To be honest I'm right handed but always hold the phone in my left hand when making or receiving calls simply because I have tinnitus and the problem is worse in my right ear so the phone is always held to my left ear. 

Can't say I've noticed any signal variation though.

I am right handed but hold my phone in either left or right dependent on what hand reaches out to pick it up. Obviously when composing text of any kind I hold in my left whilst typing with my right hand. (I say obviously as I have never yet acquired the knack of typing rapidly with both hands on a mobile)

Being an ex-motor mechanic I learned long ago to use both hands. With some engine layouts you had to be ambidextrous.

Exactly the same with me setting up ITU equipment rapidly...still didn't help me to type on mobile phones with both hands though...Being able to type wasn't a requirement of becoming a nurse back then..

I can write with both hands with very little difference. Such are genes that my eldest son is right handed whilst the youngest is left handed... same mother,  same father (I think) but my eldest has the same eyes and temperament of his mother whist Paul is the exact same as me... but left handed.... how does that work? Isn't mother nature wonderful...
