NO, don't mess with that!

while I have seen ppl using external antennas and that jack, with no problems.
I've also seen & read many times it messes up the jack and then the internal antenna doesn't work.

but that is another idea.. if you really wanted you could wire up a "standard" gps type jack. but cummon.... I think it's way cool that a paper clip can allow (or better allow..) a phone that fits in the palm of my hand to "see" satellites...

also the external gps just defeats the purpose of having a phone with "everything" (get an apache)
