Abstract
A handheld portable device (10) receives information signals modulated over one or more radio frequency (RF) spectrums includes housing (150), a user interface (62) and a plurality of antennae (A1-A3) that are configured to respond to modulated RF information signals. Receivers (RX1-RX3) receive the modulated RF information signals from the plurality of antennae. A controller (602) determines a user grip from one or more properties of the response to modulated RF signals by respective ones of the plurality of antennae and controls the user interface based on a determined user grip.
