Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / July 2005Internal VS. External Antenna
Is there a significance about internal (hidden) versus external (protruding/retractable) antenna in terms of signal reception? >Is there a significance about internal (hidden) versus external >(protruding/retractable) antenna in terms of signal reception? In general, external is better.

Now since they've been doing it for several years now there isn't a whole lot of difference. A difference is that you won't be breaking off the antenna and getting it replaced as often which is part of the reason that manufacturers went with internal. Some have mastered it better than others. Nokia has done it well. Ericsson has not or perhaps it's just a poorly enginnering job that makes Ericsson handsets have worse RF than others. - - >>Is there a significance about internal (hidden) versus external >>(protruding/retractable) antenna in terms of signal reception?

It's actually urban myth/legend -- model differences notwithstanding, Sony Ericsson handsets are as good in general as any other manufacturer (and better than most IMHO). For example, I know of no tri-band Nokia that does a better job on RF with internal antenna than the Sony Ericsson Z600. And I've yet to see any handset with an internal antenna that measures up to the Sony Ericsson T39m with (extendable) Extended Range antenna. Of course, as always, YMMV. ;) SignatureBest regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular> |
