i9000 has provision for optional ext antenna??

---

was watching the below linked video "hardware tour" and about halfway thru, the narrator shows a socket next to the microSDHC card, indicating it's a socket for the optional external antenna?????

the antenna socket reference is at the 2.45 mark

Don't know about it being there. But there's definitely an SMA connector of some sort in the beginning of this video:

the way those components pop together, that poster that wanted to swap components from overseas models to add FFC and a flash might be onto something

doesnt the korean version of the galaxy s have tv, im sure i saw somewhere that it has and the antenna for the tv is on the right side if you have the phone facing away from you.

yeah, but the tv antenna is up at the top corner, like you said, upper right corner when screen faces away from you

this connector is next to the microSDHC card slot about 1.5" down

nothing that a piece of ribbon connector cant solve, right?

started to think you were on the mark re the ribbon cable

then was watching this video again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9XNnjAcBc - at about 1:59 it shows a larger socket on the upper edge of the black subframe -

it'd be nice if the one i suspect is an optional radio antenna socket is that after all, and meant for a cradle (like sony ericsson had) that incorporated an external antenna connection

just watched the video and its shown clearly for about 2:10 to 2:26

It is a radio antenna socket, I have on my phone to, unfortunately I don`t have a picture to show you right now.

I believe it is an external GPS antenna Socket...
Mine has it, and probably every phone has it...
