According to Consumer Reports the Verizon iPhone 4 has similar antenna issues that the AT&T iPhone 4 had. They did the same tests holding the phone in a "natural way" and covering the band gaps around the edge of the phone causes "meaningful decline in performance."
Consumer Reports conducted similar tests to the AT&T iPhone which deemed it one of the years unrecommended phones for 2010.
You would think that they would have fixed that issue after what had happened.

And, when you consider these initial orders were placed between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., it is an incredible success story. It is gratifying to know that our customers responded so enthusiastically to this exclusive offer --- designed to reward them for their loyalty.
"I am proud of our employees who worked tirelessly to strengthen and scale our systems, enabling unprecedented customer orders through our website. Overall, it was a very good day," he added.
Mead also said customers will have another opportunity at being among the nation's first to own an iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network.
"Yesterday's launch set the pace for next week when we open up sales to everyone across America."
The general market launch of the iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network will occur on February 10. The company will open its more than 2000 Verizon Wireless Stores at 7 a.m. It will also be available at all Apple store locations, Best Buy, select Wal-Mart stores, and on-line at verizonwireless.com and apple.com.
