Tried that with my V325i in test mode and it was always between -87dbM -95dbm with no change by wrapping my hand around the antenna. The antenna is insulated. Really surprising that the test lab for the iPhone didn't catch the problem of attenuation caused by touching the antenna, but since you take readings with the phone not being held maybe they never thought it to be their concern.
