If you look at that small jack by the camera lens I mentioned above, you will see a small rod shaped antenna attached to it... Look closely, you can see part of it next to the stylus cap. Is that a wifi antenna then? Maybe it is the GPS antenna... but then, what is the wavy ribbon to the above right of the camera lens, it too could be an antenna?

P.S. In many laptops I have had apart in the past several years, all the Wifi cards used that jack with a small wire antenna plugged into it. Just my observation... I had no idea it was also used for CDMA... Seems like a Micro BNC jack then? If the Wifi hardware exsists, then it is only a matter of time before it is activated... MAYBE it is deactivated due to power drain concerns?

P.P.S. Following the footsteps of Malatesta I found this: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/f...ive_or_pdf=pdf Which explains the rod I asked about, looks like it is the CDMA connection which I can clearly see now with that back removed... and IF in fact it connects to that jack, it makes sense that it too is a CDMA jack. Seems not too many other photos are available, as they asked for a confidentiality request on the internals...

P.P.P.S. Go here: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/...ericSearch.cfm And type in NM8 for the FCCID and VOGU100 for the rest, and you will get all the freqs that were tested for this phone... 2400MHz, 820-840MHz, 1800-1900MHz... What does that tell anyone? 2.4GHz is normally Wifi right? Does GPS and BT use this as well?

This says CDMA2000, (850, 1900) 1xEVDO/ 1xRTT/ IS-95A/B with BT2.0 with EDR + AGPS functions...
