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.
Don't worry, it never crossed my mind to do that.

also the external gps just defeats the purpose of having a phone with "everything" (get an apache)
I have an Apache too, heh, but I keep wishing the Titan would be almost as good as an Holux which is not.

I don't see where you say I can put the standard gps jack, I can't find the place where to put it in the phone without making it look like crap.

BTW, the test tonight with the GPS antenna was not good, I will try to get another kind of GPS antenna (there are a couple out there) and try again.
