Dell Venue 8 7000 Wifi issues



I've tried to search without much success for this issue, so I thought I'd just go ahead and ask. I just picked up a Dell Venue 8 7000 and have noticed some odd behavior with WiFi. It appears that when ever I hold the device by the lower left corner (in portait with the power switch on the upper left) the WiFi connection drops out and either I lose network access or see a drastic drop in signal quality. It's easily repeatable and as soon as I hold the device by the lower left corner the wifi drops out/degrades significantly. Is this something the Dell Venue 8 7000s are just prone to, or did I likely get a bum device? Being as that I can recreate it by simply holding the device, I don't believe this is a software based issue, so what I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this or whether I should attempt to get a replacement from Dell.
