to get a compareable result you should swap the cards around as well. These phones usually have different antennas (and of course antenna positions) inside the phone that can give you significantly different results. E.g. in my C5212 from Samsung one antenna is on the top and the other on the bottom of the casing. If you hold the phone you automatically shield the lower antenna with your hand...
