Looks like the manufacturer and part number are (I THINK..pics aren't that great):
APT
50H20072-15M

Tried a quick google search, but nothing came up. Maybe someone with some better component data resources can take a look. This component is in pretty close proximity to the Qualcomm Chips....

Edit:

Page 11 of the FCC doc from Malatesta seems to show the antenna. It seems to have a different part number from whats in my mogul...

Very interesting Murph. Lets keep digging

There is the chance that it was omitted from the Sprint version or changed.

That was my impression too: people were looking in the wrong area for the antenna, so it was missed and once Shadow declared it was absent, that seemed to seal the deal.
