A little surprising to see an antenna....especially considering the fact that Motorola's A820 doesnt have one. Actually, it does: uk.gsmbox.com As you know, Nokia's generally had some trouble putting internal antennas into CDMA handsets. Remember the 3285? The designers of the 3210 should sue for defamation of character. I think the 8270 constitutes its first internal-antenna CDMA model, and it's processing and RF requirements are just a bit lower than those of a W-CDMA/GSM dual-mode presumably running Epoc and containing a digital camera (cue Ilmarinen making a snipe about CDMA amplifier demands, glory be to EDGE and the gods of multiple time slots, etc, etc.). BTW, has anyone noticed the extent to which Nokia's diverisfied its product line as of late? About eight months ago, they had only six phones being sold across the board within the 900/1800 market (3210, 6210, 7110, 8210, 8810, 9210). By the time all of the recently announced ones come out, they'll be up to eleven (3410, 5210, 5510, 6310i, 6510, 7210, 7650, 8310, 8910, 9210i). In addition to the obvious segmentation benefits, this might also help out from a branding perspective. Inundating the market with new models can't hurt a company's image among consumers during the midst of a major transition period with regards to product functionality/design. Eric
