<<Mr. McCaw plans to use
standard-size cell phones, by separating the antennas and radios into a separate unit. Customers could mount these antenna units on their cars or
carry fold-up versions in a pocket or a purse, placing them near windows when inside buildings. A wireless transmission technology called
Bluetooth would then connect the phones to the antenna devices.>>

This is something I've wished G* would do for a loooong time....even if Bluetooth wasn't available, one could use a cable connection and get much of the same advantage. IMO, a large class of G* users never need satellite mode when more than a few feet from a vehicle.... why make them pay for both an expensive, large, phone and and even more expensive car kit, when what would serve them best is a vehicler mounted satellite antenna that can be used with a normal size, close-to-normal cost phone?
