Nokia seems to be doing something better than Ericsson. I've got one of the bitsy fashion phones (because it's the only one available with IR modem capability except for Ericssons) with no external antenna, and it's usable in places the Ericsson - with a small external antenna - wasn't. Of course, the Ericsson was pretty much junk anyway, which is why I got a Nokia and gave away the Ericssons. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
