Yes, so does Iphone, samsung, blackberry, and practically everyone else making smartphones on the planet. In HD7's case, it wasn't actually documented that you entirely dropped calls when you grip the bottom part (where the antenna is located). Most evidence seems to come from a single youtube video. Most non pro-iphone or pro-android site noticed that straight away, of course pro sites just adds it to the list of why you shouldn't buy WP7.

What differs everyone else from Apple's very own Iphone, and why antennagate was so very prominent on that platform was sometimes it took just one finger to short the antenna (Finger of Death?).

Even then, as an Iphone 4 user, factor in the universally problematic reception faced by Americans from their services, since I never had any antennagate issue from teh Iphone 4 (Using Celcom).

The error happens a lot using Vista, and not limited to just Zune software. Try disabling UAC and reboot before connecting the device to your computer.

Is there any other method? I checked the Chevron7 site and they say the hack that enables Chev would be closed by the next update.

No set price, just go around and look and see.
