with a dual ZIF radio, the size may be 5-10% larger for the RF stuff, but probably large for the antenna. but for those that would want that type of phone, it would allow a 130-140 gm phone or so with a large antenna on it to be made for less than $150. that would be huge in market terms. Especially in places where roaming could never happen because of NO infrastructure like most of rural China, India, and most other developing countires around that region. Imagine how many jounralists have I* phones in Afganistan..

And roaming in the Oceans where no phone service will ever exist unless it is satelite based.

Once you have that, you truly would have a "WORLD PHONE"......to use a past pharse..<gg>
