why couldn't you have a plug in piece to normal size handset that has the G antenna?* A great idea. Already suggested by RS a long time ago. Iridium has something similar, and I suspect it is quite handy. Still doesn't solve the "no indoor connection" problem for rural users. or add G antenna to your car and simply plug the handset into the car holder?* You're preaching to the choir here. I've been asking for just such a solution forever. I even went so far as to begin design of a G* automobile with a retracting antennae roof port - figuring the brains at G* probably would reject anything as simple as a roof mounted antennae that plugged into the phone. Unfortunately, neither the car, nor the plug in antennae, ever got much attention from G. They'd rather (not) sell very expensive "hand free" installations that cost more than a used car. Souze bought one. I think he and the other guy who bought one have started a club. <g> All kidding aside, I think there's a huge market for a "gap coverage" automobile option. After all, it's when driving that you usually drop calls. G doesn't see it that way. 'course G* is now bankrupt, and I still ain't - no thanks to G* of course ... and hardly comforting. Biggest group of bone headed screw ups this side of VOD. If I'd had a couple of drinks I'd tell you how I really feel about them, and the wasted opportunity caused by blind greed, inertia, and institutional stupidity. Pierre
