Strange hole on the back

[tabbit]

Hey there,
I just received my new Polaris - but one hole is not sealed by a cap. It's not the GPS antenna, but some other kind of antenna, but I don't know whether it's bad to have this hole on the back and whether there is a cap for it... :confused:

Does somebody also have this hole on the back and knows what this connector is for? Looks very similar to the GPS antenna... I already thought whether it's an antenna for radio or GSM...

Sorry, attaching a photo...

thats some serious hardware hacking...
if you got it like that return it back to the one that sold you it.

I have no hole or cap what so ever at that location. Are you sure this is a Polaris? Perhaps you got some test-model with an extra adaptor plug for something on it.

a guy there has dismatled the phone so im putting in a question about what is showed in your hole.
by finding out whats under there im thinking of (fm radio) maybe somone has built some extension from there.
example the personbe before you might have used the phone in a car alot and had bad FM reception and wanted to build a FM extension.

I wrote to HTC this morning. Let's see what they say...
Also I was wondering because the S/N for this phone is not known at HTC for the official download of the new WM6.1 update...
Anyways, somewhere behind the battery there is a "POLA100" printed on the phone... As it completely looks like that phone, as it has the "htc" logo on the front and as it has the "POLA100" written inside, it MUST be one..
Anyways, I was also wondering, because the plug for the power cable is some sort of UK one (without the third connector), no euro-plug..

Strange thing it is... I will let you know about the answer from HTC...

Ah, before I forget, I have a better picture of the hole... :) I attach it...
