dont really understand how the Xperia S doesnt have the same death grip, as it has the same antenna design.
Maybe its just a prototype issue, time will tell though

He is holding it very tight on the lower part of the phone and provokes it.
It is not the way I hold my phone.

But he is holding it in what seems how you would naturally hold it?
This is from the article,
"Lastly, there's no issue with voice quality and call reception. However, there seems an attenuation issue when it is used indoors. When the phone is gripped with the palm touching the back (see below), the signal bars seems to fall off, but we note that you're still able to make calls but data is affected--web pages' loading time slowed down to a crawl."
Also in the review they say xperia p has better battery life than S ! Thats good news!

Doesn't look natural to me (my hands i usually further up). Nevertheless, a guy in our Swedish Android forum has the phone and did exact same test as in the youtube clip. On his unit with the "death grip" the signal bar just fluctuated between 3 and 4 bars. He only had GSM signal available due to bad 3G coverage in his area.
Either the guy in the clip had a bad unit or there is some other unknown parameters involved in the test.

Maybe coz the plastic part of the antenna is in the middle of all that metal. Same thing happens with the new HTC One V. Metal seems to play a big part in this
Most people when they hold their phones their palm naturally rests towards the bottom where antenna is. Antenna should always be put at the top imo

Not sure what you mean. The chin at the bottom below the transparent bar where all antennas are located is all plastic to my best knowledge (no metal at all).

Regarding battery life. Of what I've read so far, battery life is not better nor worse than the rest of smartphones. It will take you through the day. Somewhere in some forum it was stated it had better battery than the Xperia S. Of course I also would have like better battery but I think it will be acceptable.
Battery life is much better than the one of the S. I'm charging the P every second day (vs. every day on the S) with about the same usage pattern (3g on, display set to bright, 15 minutes pull on mail accounts, FB and weather widget, background data on, 2-3 hours of music, 15 mins. calls, 10 SMS, 30 min. web browsing, 8-10 hours connected to WiFi).
Regarding Sony's "Antennagate": never happened to me in real life so far that a connection was dropped. A lot of fuzz about nothing (is it summer vacation time already??)

No, that's just the wires connecting the antennas with the main body as far as I know.
