    External Antenna

    I was surprised when I got my Droid and took the battery cover off to realize that there was a little plug in there for an external coax antenna (doesn't seem like any of the reviews mentioned it...)

    Does anybody know more about it? Of the five radios (GPS, bluetooth, wifi, 3G, 1X), which is it for, or is it for multiple?

    As unnecessary as it may be, it would be pretty badass to mod a big, 80's style antenna on top of this thing to get twice the wifi reception or so...

    Lol reminds me of my bosses car, he's a ham radio freak. Has many huge antennas coming out.
    Resistance is futile.

    Well ok, maybe not some big-ass thing permanently for now, but it could at least be used for an alternative battery cover that has a bigger gps antenna, for example.
